need 1 bad

 

Start calling junk yards

 

r u for real?no one has a replacement?heck i'll put autometer n it b 4 i put junk n,hell thats what i'm taken out.

 

What, do you think someone is going to have a brand new one in a box? Get real.

They are going to have a USED one, just like the junk yard does

 

FoMoCo sold all the parts individually for instrument clusters, you wanna buy all these parts? Probably not. So, the only way to find one complete is used.

SC resident: If you cannot find one "way down south in Dixie" .. I can give you the name/phone number of a "way down south in CA" truck dismantlers yard that probably has dozens.

And why are you replacing the entire cluster if only one or a coupla parts are defective?

 

well brad yes i did.i redid a 87 chevy awhile bac had the same prob.got a brand spanking new 1 still n the box.alil better reply number dummy,thank u for your explanation,i'm kinda n a hurry so thats why i'm hoping to get 1.jus dont want take a chance that the 1 i put n is no better than 1 i take out.

 

What's wrong with the original? Since all the parts were sold individually, just replace the part(s) that are defective. I can probably find them new...locally...to you.

 

well i'm not a ford guy and i was told that s what i needed.the only ga that works is speedo.if u no something i dont(which is a lot) i'm all ears.is it possible to put aftermarket in it.even fuel.ga dont work.not cocerned with amp jus tenp oil press.fuel level.tach either way

 

its a printed circut rite?and i ck all sending units.but if i can jus replace .ind gages thatd b great.york isa 15min.ride

 

Edit: The problem you're having may be no more than a corroded printed circuit board (which is common). Use a pencil eraser to clean it.

If you need a replacement, there are two types, with/without a tach.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
E9TZ-9280-K (replaced E8TZ-9280-J).. Fuel & Oil Gauge / 1987/90 F250/350 diesel / Obsolete

Last MSRP: $175.40 / Dealer net cost: $116.93.

TISON MOTOR CO. in Estill SC has ONE = 803-625-2551.

SMACKOVER MOTORS in Smackover AR has ONE = 870-725-3961.

Edit: POCAHONTAS FORD-LINCOLN in Pocahontas IA has ONE = 712-335-3363,

HAVEN FORD in Haven KS has TWO = 620-465-2252.

Edit: FREESE MOTORS in Monticello IA has TWO = 319-465-3541.
--------------------------------------------------------------
E8TZ-9280-J replaced, no prices listed on FoMoCo's website =

CARPENTER NOS OBSOLETE PARTS in Concord NC has ONE = 800-476-9653.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has ONE = 800-543-4959.

Edit: WOLFE FORD in Lidgerwood ND has ONE = 701-538-7337.

Edit: CIFALDI MOTORS in Cumberland WI has ONE = 715-822-4931.

KINSEL L/M in Beaumont TX has THREE = 800-816-2894.

Now you know the years this gauge fits, so don't buy a 1986 or earlier or a 1991 or newer cluster, cuz the gauges are different.

 

u r da man.noone answ.the phone at the local ones got some of the others but no dice dont have cant git.carpenter n concord,may have ck mon.dont no why i didnt think of them,my uncle restoed a 61 ford truck used them alot.thank you very much sir will try the eraser tip.have a good one.

 

I edited in four more sources to the list. If you wanna buy one of these puppies, call around for the best price.

Obsolete parts prices vary wildly from one source to another. For example, Haven Ford will be cheaper than Green Sales.
