Hello All,
I am in the market for a 97+ cherokee to swap a diesel into. the diesel I choose will be fully mechanical injection, so I will have no need for an ECU. I plan on finding a 5 speed, or swapping an auto to 5 speed.
This leads me to my main question. What drives the speedometer, odometer, and tachometer on these new(er) cherokees? Crank pos sensor? I'm just thinking ahead to see what I can put in place for the gauge cluster to still function. I would assume all other gauges are typical senders without a intermediate bus or anything. I realize that I may have to keep the cherokee ECU in place and trick the system by using inputs from the diesel engine....
anyone know? thanks!
