Default my 89 xj

4.0 4x4...want to put in a tri-gauge cluster as I only have idiot lights and I don't trust them since I just bought this Heep and I alreay had to change out TPS and CPS and re run all the vacuums and stuff...my questions are 3 fold

1. Who sells the easiest (cheapest) Volt,oil,water temp..gauge set?

2. Where do I hook all of the aftermarket sensors into?

3. Can I use the locations that the current sensors are in for this...will it cause any problems if the original sensors no longer function?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

why not just buy a tach cluster from a 87-89 cherokee instead of going aftermarket. More work than its worth. There was one on ebay last night for 40 bucks.

1. Ebay.
2. Read Instructions with gauges. Mine off ebay came with sendors/sensors.
3. Not recommended.
I Would not swap from another cluster, its easier but why not do it right stock crap is stock crap stock gauges are like the government you cannot trust em my friend. Do it right. A pillar gauges FTW.
