Jeep factory gauges
I was reading a jeep board that pointed out the factory installed gauges
in Jeeps are not much better than idiot lights. It seems you are not
getting the information the sender actually sends, because the inputs
from the sender are filtered and averaged by the computer. So the
factory gauges are not providing real time information.

Re: Jeep factory gauges
Hi Kevin,
I believe the gauges from any new car manufacturer to be
inaccurate, but they're going to be in the ball park, satisfying most of
us. If you value your machine like most Hot Rodders, than supplement
them with Real gauges from http://www.stewartwarner.com/ or
http://www.autometer.com/

True, modern gauges go through the ECU. However if you know how to read
a gauge they are much better than any idiot light. Any delay is in terms
of milliseconds and any averaging is just to make it easier to see what
is going on. Most folks wouldn't know what a moving needle indicated
anyway.
