Grand Cherokee front seats should bolt to XJ mounts. The rears will require modification to work. They work differently, you remove the rear headrests. Then the seat bottoms tilt forward separately, then each seat back can be layed down, using their backs as the cargo area floor.

Borrowed this from the library today and I highly recommend it. I was looking through it and it has answers to more than half the answers asked in this thread. It has troubleshooting solutions and step by step instructions in how to do various things to your xj.

Haynes manuals are only ~$20 depending on the vehicle. Auto parts stores sell 'em.

I have, It's not an intake manifold whistle. I can hear that on the road even while this other whistle is happening. It's a very high pitch, perhaps almost a squeek.
