Default "Police" guages

So I have a '95 XJ that was at one time a police vehicle. The two large gauges are fuel and speed, the fuel is missing the needle. The temp gauge does not work. Most I've seen the large gauge on the left is a tach, where would I find a large fuel gauge?

Wrecking yard or Craigslist. It's more common than you think.

I'll keep checking in at the wrecker. All the Cherokees I saw last time had little fuel gauges and large tachs...

Now after the fuel gauge is fixed I would love to have one of the idiot lights say "Screwed" or something like that.

Just put a whole different cluster in. It's a plug and play

Well, it's NOT an ACTUAL plug and play. You still have to get the correct temp sending unit/switch and oil pressure sending unit/switch that are FOR GAUGES.. Depending on on where you get them, they can be upwards of 50+$

Pull your cluster and shake it. Is it rattling around in there?
If you still want a standard fuel gauge, I just swapped mine out in my '96 SE 2dr.
It's a base, base.. Only power stuff is power steering.

Pm me if you don't find anything.

Most police clusters have normal gauges just not a tac. Hence why I said it would be a plug and play
