1974–1985 Wagoneer, Cherokee, J-Series Truck Temperature Gauge (with Built-In Voltage Regulator)
Restore the accuracy and reliability of your Full Size Jeep’s instrument cluster with our direct replacement temperature gauge, engineered specifically for 1974–1985 Wagoneer, Cherokee, and J-Series Trucks. This isn’t just a temperature gauge—it’s the electrical backbone of your cluster!
Unique to 74-85 FSJ's:
On these models, the temperature gauge isn’t just for measuring engine temp—it also contains the built-in voltage regulator (CVR) for the entire gauge cluster. This internal regulator supplies the correct voltage to your fuel and oil pressure gauges as well. If your temp gauge isn’t working, chances are your other gauges won’t either. Replacing the temp gauge often solves the common “all gauges dead” issue in classic FSJs.
Factory-Correct Fit & Customizable Appearance:
This gauge is the correct electrical part for all 1974–1985 FSJ models, but the faceplate design changed after 1976.
-
1974–1975 owners: If you want to keep the early, original look, you can simply swap your original faceplate onto this new gauge.
