Be careful of cheap charlie sensors. Most of the time, you get what you pay for.

Especially on ebay. No lack of total crap chinese sensors floating around on "the bay". I will not buy anything from ebay that is not a confirmed brand name. Waaaaay too much risk.

The trick is to get the OEM one off in one piece.

Be careful and take your time.

The cleaned OEM sensor is WAY better quality than a cheap one.

I agree. I always spray the NSS fasteners a couple of times a day or two before trying to remove them. Without this, the results are often disastrous.

Here is a good link to "refurbishing" the NSS.

well the one that was on it broke trying to remove it.I went to to junkyard today to try to get one but no luck.
so back to the Q at hand who has bought one of the cheap ones?
also can you use a 97-01 one? do you just splice on the old plug or what?

That link shows an NSS for a Cherokee with Quadra Trac 4WD system. Your Jeep doesn't have that. It does look though like it fits non Quadra-Trac years of Cherokee. I'd verify before ordering.

I bought 3 brand new ones a year ago from Rockauto dot com for $26 each.

They were excellent quality, Standard brand IIRC.

94-96 never had quadra-trac. IIRC some of the earlier ones may have had, but not certain.

I put one from auotopartswharehouse I believe for like $50. I've had no problems at all. I worked in parts at the time and was as quality as the name brand we sold. Looked identical and 2 years later it is still,holding up very well. Noncompliance and sure beats the $300 price tag of the one we stocked.
