Can you take an instrument cluster from a Cherokee sport and put it on a normal Cherokee? The reason im asking is that my Cherokee has no tachometer and I want the cluster from a sport that has the tach in it.

 

You could get an aftermaket tach. Dont think they are too expensive and pretty easy to install.

 

You would have to determine if yours is wired for a tach,sometimes they will be wired,but no tach installed.

 

Yes you can do it. I have the most basic of the basic - the SE model. My cluster had no tach, no oil pressure gauge, no temp, no volt meter.

I went to the JY and bought a cluster and came back and popped it in and it works. Actually, I did have a problem at first, but I found out a ground wire had come loose in the engine bay. I connected it, and I now have it all working

From what I understand, pre 1992 is cable driven, 92-96 is electronic, and 97-01 is digital. Just make sure you get in the year range for yours and you'll be good. I paid like $20 for my cluster at the JY. All you need is a phillips and a phillips stubby. Take off the trim, unhook 2 harnesses in the back and it comes out.

 

Anybody know if the cluster out of a 4.0 is the same one used for for 4 banger jeeps?

 

Yes. You will need a cluster from a 97 or newer (digital odometer and trip) and the oil pressure sending unit and the temperature sending unit off of the donor vehicle. You CAN get replacement sending units from any auto parts store, but they tend to be pricy and they are an easy pull from the donor vehicle.

Many of us have done this mod successfully. It is easy and a nice upgrade!

If you are converting a '91 and earlier, you will also need to undo the speedometer cable.

 

Woah: Somehow I was under the impression that you had a 97 or newer vehicle. If so, use the above guidelines. If you have model up to 91 (I believe), it has a manual cable and you'd do best to stick to that era. A 92 through 96 has an electric (without digital display) and again, the swap would be a ton easier if you used clusters from that era if you have the 2nd generation cluster, you can route the manual cable through, I believe, and it isn't too tough, but I bet you can find the right era cluster easily in a scrap yard. Be warned, that the 96 and older odometers are attached to the cluster so swapping changes your odometer reading and may be illegal without sufficient documentation from a reputable 3rd party (i.e. shop).

Put the original odometer into the replacement cluster to stay legal.
