JeepcoMJ Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 How hard would it be to put a 120 speedo out of 94 XJ into a 88 XJ? where the heck did you find a 120mph speedo? pete has retrofitted an electric speedo to his wheeling truck, IIRC.

Pete M Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 close but not quite. I retrofitted a late model t-case to use the early model speedo cable in my 90. My 88 (the wheelin truck) still only has the Tach for gauging its speed. :D Using a 94 cluster in an 88 truck is next to impossible. the systems behind those needles are completely different. :( Or are you talking about putting just the speedo inside the old cluster?

89mjpioneer Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Its out of export XJ. Its a 94 but has the tranny shift button and a gm column. Image Not Found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 AFAIK all XJs (and MJs) use Saginaw (GM) columns. But a power switch in a 94 is unusual. Didn't the police package XJs have 120mph speedos? Either way, I have a 94 XJ and would love that cluster :drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89mjpioneer Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 I thought with the HO you got the Chrysler column? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I thought with the HO you got the Chrysler column? No, the HO started in 1991. The Chrysler steering column (with airbag) started in 1995. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 How hard would it be to put a 120 speedo out of 94 XJ into a 88 XJ? Yep, that's a regulation export RHD Euro cluster. It (the speedo) can be easily retrofitted into a 91-96 US HO model by creative jumper wiring on the back of the cluster and drilling a couple of new mounting holes for the speedo gauge mounting. But to mount in an 88 cluster you would have to swap out the mechanical speed sensor on the tranny tailpiece or t-case (4WD) for the electronic sensor. It's doable in an HO fairly easily, but very difficult in a non-HO because the cluster cable pinouts are very different - lots of rewiring and would be a major PITA. And the fuel and tach gauges are completely different physically and in how they are wired. EDIT: That pic looks like a cut-and-paste from Gojeep's site. Or do you have this cluster in-hand?

89mjpioneer Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 The pic of the cluster is from the guy that is selling it. Hes selling the jeep as a whole but will part it out if there is enough interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
