Default diagnose temperatur sender (gauge)

Hi, is there anybody that have a ohm table for the temperatur sender on a GC 1993 4.0L ? I got a new temperatur sender (gauge) and temperatur sensor from jeep4x4, but the sensor has wrong values. Since my temperatur gauge dont read correct i think that maybe the sensor has wrong values to. Should the temperatur sender have the same values as the temperatur sensor? The correct temperatur sensor (in the thermostate house) should read arround 860-970 ohm at 194F, but the one i got from jeep4x4 that they have in there list for the 1993 4.0L engine (it looks as the same to) reads much lower.

This is correct for my engine and the temperatur sensor
176 degrees farenheit has a spec between 1,170 ohms and 1,340 ohms
194 degrees farenheit has a spec between 860 ohms and 970 ohms
212 degrees farenheit has a spec between 640 ohms and 720 ohms
230 degrees farenheit has a spec between 480 ohms and 540 ohms

This is what i got from jeep4x4 and what they supplier (Crown?) delivered to them.
100 farenheit 1600 ohms
160 farenheit 450 ohms
212 farenheit 185 ohms

The sender for the gauge is at the rear of the cylinder head on the driver side next to the valve cover, the one in the t-stat housing is for the PCM.

YES, i know that and i have replaced it. BUT I NEED a table of what value it should have at given temperatures. I think that jeep4x4's supplier have made this sender with wrong values as they did with the sensor. The only table i have seen is for the temperatur sensor and the air intake temperatur and both of this sensor has the same values. So i need to know what values the temperatur sender should have.

They may have sold you a sender for an idiot light, not a gauge.

maybe, but thats why i need to know the ohm so i could check if its correct. I could order another one from another store, but its a litle bit hard to get it out so i want to test the one i have in my car first.
