Help with gauges / sending units...

RWKHausSupply · Aug 18, 2008

Looking to do all new gauges (Autometer or sim) but I dont know if I can use the feed to the stock gauges as sensor feeds to the gauges or not??

I have a 1990 with full gauges. But the gauge cluster is fubared and its a buggy, so new gauges would be easily fit, dash can be moded no prob.

SO can I use sensor feeds from the stock sensors for aftermarket gauges?

Anyone do even one or two gauges using stock sensors?

I'll be getting into that next weekend but on the 91, we have mechanical gauges so I'll let you know how we do it when we get to that, we have oil press, oil temp, water temp, and trans temp gauges.

Call Autometer!

Um if the cluster is buggy why not save a HUGE hastle, and pick up another gauge at a junkyard and just do a direct swap?

I would say probably not. I replaced the sending unit in my '96 ZJ with a mechanical gauge and it bolted right into where the stock sending unit belongs. I would say why do it once and have to do it again when you could just spend a little more time on it and do it the way Autometer wants you to do it.

Also, the gauges come with the sending units anyways. Just my .02.
