my gauges have been act crazy lately.
the speed gauge drops to 0 when i hit bumps or gas it hard, the gas gauge goes way passed full when i pull from lights or if i hold the brake and gas it, i can make it go passed the full line also.
i never had the problem before it just started today. maybe a bad ground or is it something else.

gaugez, we dont need know stinkin' gaugez. LOL
Check your battery, a shorted cell in the battery can cause your guages to act strange.
but it usually isnt affected by driver input.... HMMMM...

i have the same problem, my whole gauge cluster goes in and out, sometimes if i bang on the dash they will come back on which leads me to believe its a bad wiring connection, but who knows

I like to just guestimate what's going on. It's much more fun!

I've seent he speedo problem, which turned out to be a bad connection where the wire harness connects to the tcase. Cleaned it out and its fixed. Dont know if thats contributing to your problem but thats something to check

theres also some kind of trick with turning the key on and off to recalibrate the guages. its like a code for Contra or something. a a b b a b left right left right.

I know this is a TJ problem also. They used to come into the dealership all the time. I never got one so Im not exactly sure what it was. I think the harness on the back of the gauges. Ill find out.

I just did a guage swap to the nicer guages so if you want my old ones to see if its ur cluster its yours. I just got to see if I still have it.

Take your gauge cluster out and clean all the terminals with electrical contact cleaner, and make sure you dont bend the pins or enlarge the holes the pins go in. and it should..... take care of your problem, at least it did with mine. Cause mine had a bus connection issiue but that fixed it.

this was a recall for the jeeps for quite a while....check the plugs that go into the board for all the guages...youll have to pull ur guage cluster apart...fun stuff!
