Default i need all aftermarket guages, how do i do this?

ok, im puttin an ls1 into my wrangler and im tossing all off the jeeps guages and im just going to use the cluster to put GM guages in.

im new to this kind of stuff. when i buy guages, i know i have to buy senders. where do the senders go? also if the guages have back lighting, do i just wiring it to my headlights?


any input would help very much

in the audio/electrical(radar detectors) section?

i saw 'ignition, accessories' under ls1 external, soo i figured this would be the closest to right forum to post in

gauges are part of the engine, and they are external soooooooo... ?? i'll just see if i get any more responses

youll have to keep all the sensors as sits because the engine needs them to run. You can put another set of sensors (oil, water temp) and then just hook a tach and speedo up by tapping into the harness.

where can i put in another set of senders? a mechanic was telling me about using a T design or something that would have a sender on one side and a sensor on the other that screws into the original sensor whole

put the oil press above the oil filter in that 2 bolt flanged piece. Drill and tap the water pump for the water temp sensor.
