Well my 96 SE only has the idiot lights, what would it take to swap in some real gauges, atleast a temp gauge and an oil pressure gauge into the idiot light spots? From my understanding I'd need the new gauge, then a new Oil Pressure Sensor and just replace? Not sure on the Temp one. Anyone have links to any threads on it(Search wasn't bein nice)?

Is there a "yeah right" smiley on here somewhere?
So, let me get this straight.
You apply thottle at a stop on dry pavement.
At this point your tires aren't spinning.
When your straight piped, 4.0 auto MJ shifts from 1st to 2nd both tires break loose and you loose traction?
Weren't you the guy saying you could break the tires loose in 3rd gear at 80mph?
