Default Gauge Cluster Swap

Hey guys, I have 98 Cherokee Classic that has the gauge cluster that only shows MPH, fuel and dummy lights. I've found a cluster that has all the temp sensors, rpm, etc. Can I just swap over the cluster and have it work? Are the sensors already there and just need the cluster to show it?

X2 I'm 90% sure that with the newer ones e.g your model it's just swap the cluster and plug n play

I have an 87 too. I put a cluster in there from a early 90's XJ that has gauges instead of idiot lights. Even has the mech speedo. Do I need to upgrade the oil and temp sensors to a later year XJ? (Neither one works so I know I need to replace them)

Thanks.
