Unless it's a Renault J8S 2.1 diesel, then it's got a chain, not a belt. What exactly is the problem? And what engine is it?

tim_aka_tim · « **Reply #12 on:** April 06, 2008, 08:34:06 PM »

It drives the alternator, aircon compressor, water pump, viscous fan and steering pump.

Incidentally, with it being an 89, and Cherokees only being available here in the UK from 93 onwards, you might not be able to get one. Jeep regularly update their parts, and what fits one year often won't fit another.
Try anyway though, cus Crown Automotive are a US company that supply UK motor factors, and they may do a part suitable.

If you can get the length of the original you can get one from your local friendly auto parts supplier, they should match it up for you, also find out how many ribs, think it should be 5 ............
