is 40 bucks worth it?

[comanche12]

one of my friend and his 96 xj is offering me to get his oil pressure sending unit(electronic), ect, speed sensor(the one on transfercase to read the vehicle speed and those r which worth as i need for my new 96 cluster gauges needs

 

all those sensors r worth 40 bucks and the mileage on xj is about 16xxxxx so do you think its worth it? I'm go stop by his home and get those parts.

Unless I missed something here, you will need more than that to make a '96 cluster work in an MJ. It won't be plug and play if thats what your looking for. You will have to make your own harness.

if its an early '96 it might work. youre going to need to find out if its an obd1 or obd2 compliant vehicle.

[jpdocdave]

as far as I know there is no such thing as a 96 obd1, it was federal mandate that all 96 and newer are obd2. I could be wrong, but my understanding is every vehicle sold as a 1996 is obd2, and some ford's and others were using it as early as 94 and 95.

yea i have 96 cluster guages. and its obdII. only 1996 and up have obdII but chevy corvette 1995 is obdII too ;)

 

I'm soon on the way to west chicago to pick up my parts

This is true. The cluster pinouts are completely different. Plus the tach and fuel gauge require different inputs. And unless you modify the sender in the fuel tank, your gas gauge will read backwards.

 

What's the purpose of this? Just trying to use a 96 cluster that you have?

[Automan2164]

Instead of spending $40 on crap that won't get you anywhere, spent $20, and I'll sell you the full Renix cluster I have in The farmer.

 

Shoot me a PM and its yours. I am not that far away.

^thats a sweet price........unless you like buying stuff that doesn't work for your truck. :D

[comanche12]

yea i found out that his oil pressure is mechanic. and ect was exact same as me so i just bought speed sensor only and he offer me get two circle foglights, two hooks, rearview mirror, speedsensor for 20 bucks :)

 

auto-sure! ill pm u!

voltage gauge - will work fine

oil sender - not sure, probably will work fine

temp sender - probably will work fine

fuel gauge - will go backwards

tach - not sure this will work?

speedo - will work as soon as you put in the VSS from his, your cruise control may no longer work if you have it

 

I would put in a RENIX cluster on your 87... so much stuff changed. The only real benefit of the 91-96 cluster is that it uses an electronic VSS so you don't have to work with that stupid mechanical speedo cable, I hate those for some reason.

 

96 XJ gauge cluster is the same as 91 through 95, it's OBD II but 96 was a hodgepodge year where they only really changed the ECU to meet the bare minimum OBD II requirements. 97 is the year the gauge cluster fully changed over to CCD bus and lost all the individual sensor lines it had before.
