The 97-01 doesnt use a head mounted temp sensor. The 91-96 did. The 97 uses the one in the thermostat housing.

Everybody with the fluctuating temp issue make sure to
1: check and clean the connection to the sender, and I mean with some fine sand paper or something not just unplug and plug it back in!
2: check and clean grounds
I had a vehicle a while ago ( not a jeep but still )that would peg out the temp gauge but sometimes fluctuate and after checking things out the plastic connector for the temp sender had degraded due to heat and of course being old and the connection was just dirty and corroded.
