As I posted before, I just bought a '97 reg cab, 2.3L, 5 speed Ranger. I got the guy down from 3,500.00 to 2,800.00, so I am happy about that.
My question is, I want a cluster with a tach. I searched till blue in the face and still can't get this straight. I have what looks like a VSS sensor on top of the rear end, and 2 sensors on the trans and what looks like a speedometer cable coming out of the trans. I also want to change the 3 sensors, can someone let me know what they are called and for?
my buddy had the same truck, 5 speed with no tach if your intrested in putting in a aftermarket tack let me know so i can get you a pick of what wire it is that you have to splice into. It's about a 20 minute deal you will spend more time running wires than you will actually messing with it.
Congrats on the purchase of the truck. That sounds like a good price to pay. I remember when we were "helping" you decide.
Thanks for the help on when I was deciding.

Just swap in a cluster with a tach and you should be good to go.
I will do what you are saying and wait on the sensors. Autozone gave me the wrong sensor anyway. lol

I think what I was looking at on the trans was the line for the slave cylinder. I will take pics if I have a problem with something.

I think I will look for a cluster with a tack on it. Thanks anyway.
I changed the plugs and wires this weekend. . That was a job. Spilt some blood on this. I don't see how they came up with putting all that stuff in front of the plugs. I think they were the original plugs and wires. Some had the plastic handles sticking up. I had to pull a few things off to get to the back two plugs on the drivers side. I guess you guys that have done this before on the 2.3L, know what I am talking about.
Does anyone know where I could get a '95 to '97 cluster with the tack?
