Replacement water temperature gauge. This also contains the built-in Constant Voltage Regulator (CVR). When the CVR fails, the fuel gauge, oil pressure and temperature gauge all stop working at the same time. OE correct for 1976-1984, but will also work in 1973-1975 models (won't look exactly like the originals).

Good quality and can work with the older gauge font

I purchased this gauge for a '73 J4000. The gauge works great and appears to be of equal quality and workmanship as the original. I had to have the look as the original so I CAREFULLY removed the gauge face from both the old and new gauges and swapped the old face to the new internals. If you take your time and bend the little tabs just enough to clear the case, it can be done with excellent results. Mine works great now and looks perfect with the original face on the new gauge!

Q: If the CVR in this gauge burns out will it cause the needle on the temp an oil pressure to peg out? I’m thinking that’s what has happened to mine. The temp and oil pressure are reading full hot and full oil pressure after startup. Fuel gauge is reading full also but I did just fill up. Thx

Asked by: Forrest Watson - 6/7/2021

A: When the CVR goes bad, it usually causes the oil pressure gauge and the fuel gauge to stop working. If yours are pegging full, it could be that, but more likely you have a short or grounding issue.

Q: Hello, I read that the temperature gauge is designed for the 1976-1983 years of Cherokees, but that its also noted to fit the 1973-1975 models, just that there will be slight visual differences. I just wanted to check and confirm that this will fit a 1974 Cherokee with the stock instrument clusters circuit board? Thank you for your help in advance, Carson Craig

Asked by: Carson Craig - 5/17/2020

A: That is correct, it WILL fit 73-75 models as well (just doesn't look exactly like the original during those years).

Q: I’ve read about the CVR affecting fuel, oil and temp gauges. How can I test if that’s it? All 3 of mine are out but I bought Jeep that way and seller doesn’t know. Many thanks!

Asked by: Burwell Boykin - 4/27/2022

A: as long as you have power to the gauge cluster, and the printed circuit board isn't burned / bad, and all 3 gauges are out, then the CVR is 99.9% the issue.

Q: hi i was wondering if this gauge will work in my 1985 grand wagoneer? it seem to appear the same. thank you.

Asked by: darren - 9/16/2020

A: No, as this only fits up to 1984. 1985 was a separate gauge with different electronics / cvr.

Q: the prior comments say that this does not work on 85 because of CVR, but the description says that it has a built in CVR? I can't find one specifically for an 85 anywhere, so hoping this will work. Thanks!

Asked by: Kerry - 11/16/2020

A: As noted on the other reply, this won't work on the 1985 as they used a different set of electronics, and a different style CVR. This only fits the years / models listed, sorry.
