Hi everyone. I just picked up myself a '96 Cherokee, 2 door, 2wd, automatic, 4.0. Only have had it for a day, but I love it so far. Couple of problems I have some questions about.

The odometer ticks very slowly. I drove about 40 miles and it only clicked off 3 miles. Any ideas?

The tachometer & speedometer work only when slowing down. If I hit a bump, they jump up and fall back down to 0. Also the other 4 gauges are stuck at either 0 or all the way. Any help is greatly appreciated. My name's Andrew.
