Gauge Swap

Putting in an 88 XJ Sport gauge cluster in my 87 MJ. My question. Donor vic was a 4.0, my vic is a 2.5. I read that you need to change out temp and oil pressure sensors. Found oil pressure sensor but temp sensor part # TU108 didnt match up at autozone. Anyone know the correct part number. Anything else I need to cover before making the change? Gauges out of 88 were automatic and I have the 2.5 4 speed. Thanks!:helpme:

only other problem I can see is the tach (if the new cluster has one) will be calibrated for a 6cyl, not a 4cyl.

Which style guage pod do you have and what are you swapping too?

You only need to swap senders if your doing something like full guages from idiot lights, all you need is the senders for a jeep that matches whatever cluster you have.

For the tach inside the cluster is a potentiometer you have to hook up an external tach and adj the clusters tach to your engine.

I am doing a full gauge swap from idiot lights. I noticed on my vic that it does not have a oil pressure sensor on it. The wire is there, but the hole where it would make is covered by a brass screwed in fitting. From pictures I have seen it seems there needs to be an "elbow" type fitting made here and than the sensor makes to that so the sensor is in a horizontal position. Are the 2.5 and 4.0 typical for this elbow piece. Meaning, can I go to JY and take this part off of the 4.0 and use it on my 2.5? Thx!

That's what I did. I pulled the senders from the same XJ I got the cluster from, eveything fit perfect.

Thx for your input Shorty and Mnkyboy!! I'm going to JY 2morow to get the rest of the parts I need.:roll:
