I would agree. if it jumps a lot and isn't dependable, it can be a sign of the sending unit going bad. Seen it a few times. But just because it hits 80 doesn't mean there is a problem, especially if it does it cold.

Don't listen to the guy above. If it's hitting 80 there is a problem; it should never hit 80.
The sending unit needs to be replaced.

If you do replace it, get one from Jeep. It's a pretty common failure and the aftermarket senders are not very reliable.
