TheDude Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Hi, I was wondering if there is anyway to tell if a gauge cluster is from a 4 cylinder or a 6 cylinder?
reprod89 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 6 cylinder auto trans.would be the normal to find this cluster than a 4 cylinder probably early years 86-89 with a gm spedo cable connection. the 90-95 used a different color lay out but kept the gm cable and wire setup same, but i will work with both engines just make sure to change the sensors from the dummy light to variable current. all the wiring for the (sensor) swap is their just need to find them
TheDude Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 I had the guy who had it throw it in his 4.0 MJ and he said the tach was just bouncing. I put a full cluster in mine but the tach reads double and neither have an adjustable tach.
jimoshel Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Can't find it in any of the manuals but if I remember correctly, doubtful, The '86 year was the only one with an adjustable pot for the tach. '84-'86 for XJ's. All others were fixed Had to replace a resistor to change the range.

TheDude Posted June 21, 2014 Author Posted June 21, 2014 I'm not surprised you would. lol So, how can I tell them apart just from looking at them?

cruiser54 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Ha, well that's not helpful! Is there a part number on the back of the tach?
TheDude Posted June 21, 2014 Author Posted June 21, 2014 The first picture is of the back of the tach.
cruiser54 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 The first picture is of the back of the tach. Can you see any other numbers?
TheDude Posted June 21, 2014 Author Posted June 21, 2014 That is the one my friend has so I can't look at it. The one where the tach was just bouncing when he hooked it up.
cruiser54 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Renix tach Don't tell me you have Renix parts in your possession!!! Did you scrub your hands thoroughly after touching them?
HOrnbrod Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Don't tell me you have Renix parts in your possession!!! Did you scrub your hands thoroughly after touching them? Not any more. :rotfl2:
