Technically you don’t have a GEM, you have a CTM (central timer module).
You can get a 2x4 GEM or a 2x4 CTM and they will both work. The only difference is the 2x4 GEM has the auto down function for power windows.
You need to make sure you get a 1998 though as I think the wiper arm switch resistances changed in 1999.
If you had access to a laptop with Bluetooth you could even get a 4x4 one. You can turn off the 4WABs profile and convert it to a 2x4 version. I’ve done this before.
Only issue is you will have to deal with whatever tire size was programmed into it previously.
