1996 Instrument Cluster Help
i've been looking for a cluster with tach for my 96 F350.
i found a guy parting out what he says is a 1996 bronco with the tach'ed cluster. the build date on the sticker in the door jamb says 09/95. there is a white sticker on the bottom of the cluster with a date and time stamp of "18 Sept 1995 17:55". so it looks like the cluster was produced on Sept 18th 1995 at 5:55pm.
is this in fact a 1996 cluster?

actually from what i've read here, i need a cluster out of a 96. 92-93 are interchangable with each other, 94-95 are interchangable with each other, and 96 is on its own.

The main issue is the difference in the wire connections. There is 2 or 3 wires in different locations in the plugs. A '94 cluster will not allow the alternator to charge in a '96 truck.

I am wrong. It's the '92-'93 cluster the will not allow the alt to charge in the '94-'96 truck.
The '92-'93 are a fair bit different than '94-'96. They are missing the lights for the Airbag and Theft. The wiring is completely different. Major repinning.
The '94-'95 are the same. The only difference from the '96 is, the '96 is missing the Theft light and the '96 has a Brake Fluid level light.
