The cluster just plugs right in, just be sure to find the one thats compatible with you're year (94-96 cluster).

You need a cluster out of another 96, it's the only one that will work.

I'm not sure if that will work or not. Don't the diesel tachs only go up to 4,000 rpm? And it can be from either an auto or manual, you can swap out the shift indicator for the little black plate, it's two bolts.

Looking at my diagrams, I don't see any different wiring between the 94-96 F150 clusters, so don't see why it wouldn't work.
