If you do some research in this form you can find wire diagrams for both the 93 and 95 instrument clusters. You can move a few wires in the pig tail and everything will work. I have a 93 and installed a 95 instrument cluster. Everything works and charges after a few wires were moved.

Thanks Matt that's good to know. I did a search before I started the project and not too much came up. Maybe I need to re word my search heading. I was kind of in a hurry as I stumbled across the cluster when I was at the salvage yard looking for something else.I was itching to install it so I gave it a shot, I will investigate further. Thanks again,herbie

I swapped a tach instrument cluster into my 96. I didn't have to change any of the pigtail wires. To be safe I went with one from the same year so that I had all of the correct warning lights, but its all plug and play, and an easy job. Be careful if you are cleaning up the clear plastic cover. I snapped one in half while cleaning it and thankfully had a second one that came with the new cluster.

This last winter was doing a work truck build for my son in law, at yard getting some other parts and grabbed a tach cluster. If I remember right temp wasn't working and I didn't want to mess with it. It's missing clear plastic cover and is for an auto, otherwise in decent shape. Was for a 95. It's yours for a box and shipping, I'd say twenty will cover it.
