from what i researched here, 92-93 are interchangable, 94-95 are interchangable, and 96 is on its own. based on that, the 93 cluster will not work on your 94. it will fit and may appear to work, but you may have issues with your charging system.

I have a 94 truck and a spare cluster from a 93 and though the instruments might work, I know for a fact that there are different warning indicators in different places. By that, I mean in a "check engine" situation, the light will light up in the same place, but there is a different icon there such as airbag warning.(just an example)

Also, check to see if your original gauges have airbag and anti lock lights as some of the HD trucks don't have these.
