I'm considering dropping a 5.3L into my '01 TJ Wrangler and I'm being told that the gauges won't work.. Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas?


Thanks

 

i was told i you could keep them but you have to keep the jeep computer just for the guages i just ran aftermarket guages in my jeep

 

I know they all worked in this one when it was done:

Wouldn't think an LS vs LT would be any different.

 

I pulled the temp and oil pressure sensors from the Jeep engine and put them in the LS6. The stock Jeep tach won't interface with the LS computer. I used a Autometer tach. My swap used a Novak adapter to mate the 4l60e to the 231 T/C. The Novak adapter has a tapped hole for the VSS sensor. The trans has to be disassembled to put in the new output shaft. It has the gear for the VSS speed sensor for the LS computer. I am running two computers. One for the LS1 and the stock Jeep. The Jeep volt meter and gas gauge works like stock. I have 98 Wrangler. I did a 99 Wrangler also the same as above. Both have been great.
