1993 problem with gauges?!?
Recently bought a 93 flare side mark 3 and has a few problems and what I can do to fix them. The speedometer jumps around when at a cruising speed. And also the oil pressure gauge jump around when at idle but is fine when driving. And also it has the electronic rear window and it doesn't work. There's also a botton on the side of the seat that when you press it there's a cylinder like canister that releases air. I was also wondering is it hard to put in a new window motor in?

While you have the panel off, make sure you look in the bottom of the door for rust and debri that might be blocking the drain hole. I've sprayed rust inhibitor Krylon in the bottom to help stave off the rust a little longer.
I'm going to guess you have a 302 engine. Does the engine have to be warmed up before the oil pressure gauge starts jumping around? You might try replacing the oil pressure gauge sending unit on top of the oil filter housing.
It's a 5.0(302) so yeah. But not really, it jumps around really only at idle but it does take a while but at cruising speeds it's perfectly fine
That seems to be somewhat common with 302 engines. The engine may have fairly low oil pressure when the engine is running slow. It shouldn't be a problem unless the engine is allowed to idle a long while at zero oil pressure.
Your oil pressure sending unit (which is screwed into the block just in front of the driver's side motor mount) is just an electrical sending unit. Not an extremely accurate measuring device. You could try a new one - they're not real expensive.
Your bearings could be getting a little worn - they do wear over time. Or your pickup screen for the oil pump could be getting a little sludged up which would give you lower pressure when it's not revving a bit.
Fresh oil and filter can't hurt

A window motor (in the door) is not too hard to put in, drill some 1/2" holes and undo the bolts. The window regulator (gear and arm part) is more complicated involving grinding off rivets and such like manuellabour was saying.
Whatever's going on in your back window setup - you'll have to uncover the workings and see what's involved. I think the only factory sliders were on the bigfoot models.

Air horn setup, its just busted or needs servicing. Did you get it from a hunter?
