- 1981 CJ5/258 4.2L I6, Tremec T-176 4-speed, Dana 300, Power Steering, Howell Throttle Body Injection System, Warn Locking Hubs, Warn Rock Crawler front/rear bumper with Tire Swing Carrier, Full Roll Cage, Pro Comp ES9000 shocks
Done and done.
The messiest part was draining a gallon of coolant to get the new temp probe in. The oil pressure gauge is pegging around 60 psi, which is what the old one did. The temp gauge stays around 160, which seems a little low as my old gauge had a 180-190 operating temp. Its not the probe location because I put in the same intake manifold port as the old one.
All in the job cost me about $40:
$9 for the gauges kit + $11 shipping
$10 Burr Bit
$10 Copper Tube Kit
Considering they're Summit Racing brand gauges and not some cheap Chinese knock off, I think I got a pretty good deal. Time will tell.
