My 98 grand cherokee keeps stalling on me when it gets to normal operating temperature, i replaced the fuel pump, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor button, Ignition coil, pick up coil, and crankshaft position sensor, none of this has fixed the stalling problem and I'm running out of solutions, i can't be the only person on this planet that has or had this problem, any suggestions other than cutting my losses and selling this jeep?
^ This. Do you have access to a quality OBDII reader? You need to look at your fuel trims. If not, then at least manually check fuel pressure and vacuum at idle when hot.
I have an obd 2 code reader that plugs into the computer under the dashboard, the problem is that it's not throwing any codes at all, that's why I've been throwing parts at it that i think would fix it.

But can your scanner see data? You can have plenty of problems without a CEL. You need to look at the fuel trims and such. Checking vacuum (at idle when warmed up) is also a good idea, if vacuum is down then you could have a vacuum leak somewhere. Fuel trim data can also point you in the right direction.
My scanner doesn't show data, it's just the basic of the basic, I'll ask around, I'm sure someone i know has a good one, i really do appreciate this because I'm running out of options and money at this point.
Just remember: Air, fuel, fire. It is not that simple anymore but still a good principal to go by. However, Stalling is generally fuel related or vacuum related. I bought a party fog machine and converted it to boost/vacuum leaks tester.
