My serpentine belt broke on my 1997 jeep jeep grand cherokee and i don't know how it goes back on?

This is for a 1997 4.0

This should do it. Let me know if it doesn't look right.
Its from the Gates Belt book.

are you talking about the serpentine belt or the timing chains, the serpentine belt is what drives the alternator,power steer,water pump, and goes around a few idlers. and around crank pulley that is in front of harmonic balancer. Did the belt fall off? is the pulley missing? cause it should be very self explanatory and visual.

Usually the label diagram is underhood, over radiator/grille...

To get out, it's easy and doesn't require a prybar.

• Get a 14mm or 9/16" socket and a long handled ratchet or breaker bar.
• Get the belt around all the pulleys except the A/C compressor or Alternator.
• The tensioner pulley is near the Alternator toward the center of the engine. It's on a spring loaded arm. Get your socket on the center nut of this pulley.
• Slowly pull the ratchet toward the center of the engine. The pulley will pivot on the arm allowing you to get the belt on the final pulley.
  
• Slowly release the tension.
  
• You're done

Hope helps (remember to rate this answer).

You're not going to find a serpentine belt for that truck without AC because it didn't exist. They all had AC standard, which means, whether or not you RUN an AC system the compressor has to remain installed since the pulley was part of the serpentine routing.

There is a spring tensioner that you have to turn with a wrench to release the spring tension. Make sure you have a diagram of how the belt goes back on.
