Also oreillys has an oil pressure switch and an oil pressure gauge sensor. Im assuming its the gauge sensor id need? Theyre like $50ish though which seems way high.

Just replace the whole cluster. Cheaper. Easier.

Could i use the newer thermostat housing with the side tap and put the sensor in there?

I don't see why not. That would be the best spot... at least that's what Chrysler thought, so I'd say yes.

Although I agree with this, no 4-banger POS ricer should outrun a 4.0L Jeep lol.

Careful with that line of logic - especially when you combine "Chrysler" with "Electrical". They also thought it best to run the headlights with no relays

I had a bone stock 1993 2.2L 4 banger manual Mazda 626 for a long time. It was ugly as hell but there's no way you would have been able to keep up with it in Bone stock 4.0 Cherokee.

The fact that it's FWD makes up for half the missing horse power.

I could blow your doors off in that thing.

What does turning have to do with how fast it goes.

You should have had a 1993. They were made much better.
