gauge cluster swap?

cburcham73 · 08-28-2008, 11:52 AM

i have an 89 seirra. did they make a factory cluster w-tack for these years trucks. i believe 88-91 will fit. the back connectors i know are different.mine has the connector that looks like the diag test ports. some have the printed circuit board connector. i want to swap one with a tack if i could. and also my fuel gauge and odometer dont work either. thats another reason.

i had a 91 and it did not have a tach. just the old disc style speedometer. believe i had an aftermarket set up on the dash. but that just doesnt look real healthy.

ive seen some 91's and 92 and up. i was hoping they had some out there that might fit.

I love those types of speedo's I had one on my 90 GMC but what I did is I placed a small RPM gauge on top of steering column for when I would place it in drive I could see the rpm's perfect it also came with some little condom that I placed over the light bulb to match my other lights.
Good luck! GMC

yuo can take one out of a van. they are digital and i dont know how to wire it up but besides that they will fit in there. i saw them on ebay just to see if they had any one there

It's cheaper doing what I said I placed a small tach there so that I could see my speedo and it would look good.
