Pull the ac control panel and look at the plug. Xj maniac newb showed a picture of one the other day. I think it was in the "what did you do" thread.

We are probably the only people on here who even know what that is... (BTW the screen sucks for Doom)
Fluke makes a really nice unit (all made in China). The only thing that will appreciably differ is the auto-ranging functions. It actually makes things easier, but can cause a bit of confusion. On a cheapie multimeter you had to set the sensitivity like 10 ohm, 100 ohm, 1k ohm, 10k, etc. This is important on an analog unit as the needle only moves so far. Digital not really... autoranging makes it irrelevant.
I'm not sure if it's enough to be significant, but some of the super cheap digital units take a long time to read. Like in the neighborhood of 250ms long time. Without a steady hand I could totally see not noticing a discrepancy or delayed reading while sweeping the throttle. However I'm not so sure that someone would even get to the stage of troubleshooting a minor problem like that instead of just assuming that it's an ancient Jeep and has quirks. (Analog meters are way more fun anyway)
