Changing guage cluster.
They dont have/make white face gauges for clusters WITH a tach.
Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds
.
Thats it for now, saving for a stang. Check out my Gallery for a look-see.

You can say 302 or 5.0. Yes it will read correctly.

Yes, all tach clusters from gas trucks will interchange. Just watch out for the different wiring if you get one from a different year. There's a picture of one with a tach here:

Changing guage cluster.
be careful about the year of the cluster. there was a change in the wiring harness from 93 to 94 and maybe others. the airbag warning light was added after 93 and the location of the light and other little symbols that light up in the background of the clusters. I had to change the location of wires in the two plugs to correct. just compare the diagrams for your year truck to the year of the cluster to put the wires in the right places in the plugs. not a hard job but the first time I didn't check and the alternator quit putting out because the light in the cluster completes the circuit and engergizes the alternator wire to activate it. Several days later the battery was dead -- had to replace both battery and alternator. then checked about the pin locations in the plugs. go for it. I paid $100 for a cluster with tach from a salvage yard here in PA.
