My rig is: 1997, 4.0, aw4, 231, 155k miles, new head 5k ago.
Not sure what differences exist across XJ clusters, so here's a visual description of mine:
{Battery}-----------------------------------------{Oil Pressure}
--------------{RPMs}------{Speedometer}--------------------
{Fuel}--------------------------------------------{Oil Temperature}
Recently, my whole cluster started doing some 'funny stuff' - like a flicker where all the needles jump momentarily. Or sometimes its just individual gauges - even the fuel needle will do these little spikes sometimes. One time last week, everything went to 0, as if the truck was off, but then they returned to normal - mostly. Since then, the oil temp gauge doesn't ever rise above 110. I've never had a problem before... ...but I just drove for 3 hours non-stop this weekend, and obviously it got hotter than 110...
Not my video, and not even sure how much it matters, but I found a video online to better describe the exact orientation of my gauges:

What do you guys think?
