1986 Diesel Instrument Cluster, 4sp for sale.

[Starliner]

I just got this at the junkyard today. Not exactly the one I needed but got it to resell to defray my costs.  This is a really clean one.
As a thanks for all the help on the forum, if anyone here wants it FOR 20.00 LESS, let me know, I will end the listing.
Thanks.

Looks like a really clean one.
Completely up to you but I'd remove the '2wd' references and change 'blazer' to 'bronco'.
Best of luck!

[Starliner]

Oh GEEZE!!!!!
Thanks.

Very clean looking and priced quite fairly! It has the desirable trip odometer.

If you're looking to put a factory tach. in your truck and this is what you have so far. You could simply come up with the tach. head for a gas engine and take the cluster apart and reassemble with the correct parts. Use the gas tach. that you still need and the gasoline face plate from your original cluster and just make what you want. I've reconfigured these clusters numerous times, as long as your not dealing with any 1980 components, you're fine. It's hard to find clean lenses, at least where I am. Be very careful with the screws, especially on the way in. Work it by finger as best as you can to let the threads go back into the original holes. When you know you are back in the original hole switch to a manual driver. I would not use power of any description to prevent breakage. Fun project.

Just the lens [used; with trip meter] is $49.99 + $11.00 freight.

Rodeo thanks for the advice. Yes, this lens is super clean. Interesting idea about swapping tachs, great info. Actually I am going to kill the auction and look at that more closely. I LIKE IT!  Thank you.

[Starliner]

Well, I ended the auction, (sort of), while I figure this out.
One issue I need to look at is that my original cluster does not have a trip odometer.  My truck has 67k miles so I need to keep that.
Nothing is simple but this is worth looking in to.

I'm thinking I might be able to swap out the ribbon and use it on my cluster, and get a gas tach.
At least now I have time to think.

Thanks.

The tach clusters came with a speedo having both the standard odometer and a trip odo.  You can easily swap that speedo into your cluster.  And, we have the instructions on the site for adjusting the new odometer to your current odometer's reading.

Oh wow, you are making this decision easier .     .

Assistance is what this forum is all about!

I think you spelled "enabling" wrong!  

[Dan Crowley]

Hey Starliner,  I have a gas cluster with the trip odometer and I need a one for a diesel mabe we can work something out?  the diesel and gas tachs are different.

[Starliner]

Hi Dan
Another member of the forum found me a gas cluster with tach, (no trip though).  I already sent a check off to him for 75 bucks which was 50 bucks plus some extra for shipping.
If you want this one for the same price you've got a cluster. It is very nice.
