Just had a similar issue. I'd go to crank and just get a loud spinning sound. It would crank sometimes, otherwise just make that loins noise. Ended up being the starter. Got it repaired for $40 from a mechanic friend that does only starters and alternators.

I'm not sure about that part. I did a check on Advance Auto Parts and checked a starter to see if it would fit the years. The 95 checked out but not the 99 so I don't think they will share with each other. Jeep didn't teach them that in grade school

The starter relay connections are different between 95 and 99. It would be easier to modify the 99 to take a 95 starter than it would be to modify the 95 to take a 99 starter.
