[@TennisRake]

Nice weld braze job

[@robsirait1971]

Best YJ custom dashboards so far, in my opinion...

[@TVQROO]

My God ... it looks very simple but I don't think I can do it, better when you come to Cancun let me know and I'll buy you a ceviche and some beers and we do it ...

[@AutoMeterTech]

Hey buddy! How's the 4BT swap treating you? Gotta wheel that thing over by the place for bbq sometime soon.

[@dubfalcon4489]

Well cam in the semi was done. Kinda saped my funds. Steve shrtz is gonna give me a hand doin the head suds. Then i can start assembling the butt load of parts.

[@dubfalcon4489]

Love the videos man. This is great

[@AutoMeterTech]

Thanks man, it's definitely a lot of fun making them. Let me know when you guys are getting to work, I'd be happy to pitch in.

[@dubfalcon4489]

AutoMeter Products Inc right on man. Will do. As soon as i got a date ill let u know. Ty

[@brokengeiger]

I have an LM7 almost ready to go into my Jeep TJ. Retaining only the GM ECU. Not the Jeep PCM. What I didn't get out of this video is, will the new Jeep Branded Autometer work with GM engines without the dual headed ECU/PCM?

[@AutoMeterTech]

[@timroberts6933]

may I ask what brand and or part # is that radiator ?

[@MrSpitfireMustang]

Need a view from the drivers seat post op.

[@tannerK102]

Is that the normal ol' D35? How in the world is it not breaking behind the 350?

[@josepardo4650]

Do you guys have a location in Houston tx?

[@ignusa749]

to auto meter: why not use 2 wire gauge senders... isolated ground and direct to the gauges!

[@AutoMeterTech]

Our short sweep gauges typically use a single wire sensor, but all of our full sweep electric gauges do feature 2 sensors.

[@jeffstewart4162]

Can we just use stock wires with stock drivetrain?

[@jimmyd6819]

Ahhh the ground is the battery negative champ

[@larryalexander4833]

I just priced this kit on your site. Cost over Thousand dollars and doesn't come with speedo conversion unit from what I read. Too pricey for some plastic and set of gauges and senders .

[@FRUMACO]

Do you found any alternative solution? 1000 dollar is a lot for this parts

[@larryalexander4833]

@@FRUMACO I did thier two smaller companies withdraw good reviews .One out of Florida and one from California. The one I bought gauge set setup was from California . Don't have them in front of me at moment to give the name sorry. But they are great about answering phone calls and emails. A set I picked was several hundred dollars with all sensors and instructions. Getting ready soon to finally install them. It's been a long project.

[@FRUMACO]

@@larryalexander4833 i am not sure if i want to replace it with digital gauges. i like the possibilities but also i am afraid what problems could be come with all this electronic things. :-) if you done let see your final Installation best TOM!

[@lenack9365]

do you guys know the wheel/tire combo used for that Jeep by any chance ? Also, do you guys know if i can use the speedo and tachometer to replace the stock ones? I’m restoring my Jeep and I need those two units new and I liked the ones you guys offer.

[@12Bravojeepstuff]

My YJ is next rite?

[@cliffdaddy126]

What's the part number for the braided hose kit?

[@AutoMeterTech]

Please give our Tech Support Team a call at 815-899-0801 or send us an email at [e-mail].

[@LiLFlipJohn]

Wow gorgeous YJ, anyone know the exact paint color of the body?

[@cesarrodriguez2677]

Have you guys done this with a jeep wrangler tj 1997-2006? Is it possible or do you guys have a tutorial video on that specific upgade? TIA

[@AutoMeterTech]

Hi Cesar, We currently do not have a video of this installation on a TJ, but we will be producing more videos in the future. There is a direct fit dash panel that will work with the TJ, here is a link to it: www.autometer.com/jeep-tj-direct-fit-gauge-panel.html Let us know if you have any more questions!

[@josepardo4650]

I want to get the same job done on my 1995 jeep wrangler yj

[@MrSpitfireMustang]

That head unit belongs in a prius

[@awwfive]

What other components were used outside those included in the 7040 package? Also, if the white LED’s aren’t purchased will thing ring color be either red or green?

[@AutoMeterTech]

Hello Andy! The 7040 package includes the following Oil Sender 2242, Trans Temp Sender 2258, Water Sender 2258, 1/4" NPT, 3/8" NPT and 1/2" NPT adapter fittings, Bulb & Socket 3220 (which is a white incandescent light for the ring color), Light Covers Red 3214 & Green 3215, and mounting brackets. For the braided lines, we have a variety of sizes in the accessories category on our website.

[@darrentylor5473]

Never drill a grommet... Worst case use a knife or an actual grommet punch tool...and if you are pulling ground to under the hood... Run it to the battery... The engine ground could be bad. Aka on a Jag 😉

[@thewhiteelephant]

Ground to battery, then run to body, then frame. The more grounds the better.

[@6226superhurricane]

it's earthed to the manifold because both the temp and oil senders are in the manifold. it's clearly not a jag so that's as irrelevant as jags are.

[@edgreene5749]

what is the cost of this kit thanks for the info

[@AutoMeterTech]

Hi Ed! The complete kit is $1,234.95.

[@FRUMACO]

@@AutoMeterTechwhat is the price actually ? Is is universal? I have an AMC 401 engine swapped in to a yj

[@Denver1976Man]

a couple thousand dollars is put better somewhere else. The prices in my opinion are rediculous

[@poet99999]

Its hip to be square

[@hughmartin4006]

160 MPH speedo in a Jeep ? What are they thinking ? At best , you’re using HALF of that speedo , the other half wasted space . That means all of the useable numbers are crammed between 7and 12 o’clock positions . For the money they are asking for this kit , I’d expect better .
