instrument cluster/tach

I want to swap my instrument cluster for one with a tach. Is it a simple swap with just unplugging the old , switching odometers and plugging in? (that is how easy my Civic was)

Stats: '94 F250 XLT 4x4 351/auto.

I just did this exact thing in my 93 F150. It is a simple swap just make sure you get a tach that is from the same year. From what I have read 92-93 are interchangeable and so are 94-95. 96's only work in that year. You can use a tach from other years but you have change the wiring. You shouldn't have a problem finding one on ebay. There were plenty on there when I bought mine. Hope this helps.

try to get a 94 or a 95 if in a pinch but not 96 because it is different.

92 and 93 do not have the air bag warnings.
