1990 Instrument Cluster Swap Out

[SchneiderFishing]

What all is involved with swapping out an instrument cluster in a 1990 Comanche. Currently I have the one with the big fuel gauge and the idiot lights for temp. oil, etc.

 

I'd like one with regular tach, oil pressure, etc.

 

Thanks for your help.

Find a cluster from an 87-1/2 thru 90 XJ or MJ, and bolt it in. Replace the temperature sending unit on the back left corner of the head and the oil pressure sending unit with the ones for gauges, and you're done.

What about the tach?

It's already pre-wired. No need to do anything.

Cool!!

 

Anybody know where to find a 87-1/2 thru 90 XJ or MJ.

I haven't had much luck finding one.

I would check the classifieds I'm sure someone has one. Just make sure if your spedo is the cable driven or electric one .

Your truck isnt the electronic speedo, so you need to find a cable driven one.

Make sure your speedo cable is the same,where it hooks up in the back of the cluster.If it isn't,be sure to grab the speedo cable from the vehicle that you got the cluster off of. A good example is in my thread of my build. I just finished this swap last weekend. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13953

Wrecking yards are full of them around my neck of the woods. If you don't find anything, I could probably be pursuaded to grab one next time I am pulling parts.
