Flex circuit '87-'90 with tach

[ArdWrknTrk]

My tach cluster flex circuit is delaminating and in rough shape.
I see E7TF-10C956-BA

Replacement boards that fit Lil' Red are part numbers:
E8TZ-10K843-B
&
F0TZ-10K843-B

Will look for these Jim this upcoming week.

[ArdWrknTrk]

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Hey Jim  - didn't have great luck on these. Pulled 5 of them but 4 were delaminated also (not sure if better or worse than yours but definitely not great).
The 5th was a new addition to the jy and the green board looked good on it. Hard to tell on the yellow without pulling the green.
The problem is that it doesn't match the numbers you listed so not sure if it would work.

The green is: E8TF-10956-A.

Question for you: I didn't take the clear cover or the gauges off any of them to look but what is the best way to remove those square metal inserts?

Jim, I still have my tach cluster from my 1990 cab, I was saving it in case I ever end up with a non-tach F-SuperDuty but that's not an immediate thing. I will take a look at it tonight and see if it matches what you're looking for.

I didn’t think the 90 or later circuit would work. But if so, I may have one from Huck. I’ll check tomorrow. Sorry if I misunderstood.

[ArdWrknTrk]

Thank you so much for checking, Scott!
An '88 should work.
The only difference is that the resistor is on the board and not across the charge warning bulb socket.

I could only list what I see on mine and what are listed for replacement parts.
I assume an '88 would be fine.

'metal square inserts'?
The gauge connectors???

How much would you want for it?

[ArdWrknTrk]

Gary, I think the Bricknose are pretty much the same.
I don't know anything beyond the bulb holder changed.
But I may well be wrong...

[ArdWrknTrk]

Thank you, Shaun.

If you really don't have a use for the tach flex circuit.... and you want to part with it LMK what it's worth to you.

(I really appreciate the outpouring of help here in the marketplace!)

[salans7]

Take a look at the pictures and see if it matches what you have. If you think it works, I can send it your way if you pay the shipping.

[Gary Lewis]

Shaun & Jim - Hang on until tomorrow.  Apparently I was mistaken, so let me see what I have.  If I have the one from Huck it is yours, Jim, assuming it'll work.  I have no need for it and that will save Shaun's.

[kramttocs]

Sounds like a plan
Shaun's looks better than even the best one I found in the jy.

[ArdWrknTrk]

Scott, Shaun & Gary, I really appreciate the response.
I will be able to get some pics when I pull my cluster to fix the MeterMatch wiring.

Gary, I like the idea that Huck's flex circuit has no future for you.
But, for now, mine is working.  🤞

[Gary Lewis]

Ok, looks like I have the exact same flex circuit as Shaun.  Says E9TF-10C956-B.  So, Jim, it is yours.  Do you want the whole gauge set?  I do not need it so would be happier to send you the whole thing than just the flex circuit.  And shipping is on me.

[ArdWrknTrk]

Gary, that is a kind and generous offer!
Probably the best Christmas present I could ask for.  

The clusters look the same save for "unleaded fuel only" and your tach has no orange and red line @ 5250 & 5750.

I see the resistor on the back, so I don't need the bulb holder with the resistor bridge.
I have to see if that little vial of HiPo needle paint is useable.

Thank you!

[Gary Lewis]

Merry Christmas!  But check the paint as I probably have that as well.  Will add it to the package if needed.

Since yours is working should I wait until after Christmas?  Or do you want me to get it out today?

[ArdWrknTrk]

Gary, there's ABSOLUTELY no rush.

I will check on the paint.
It's been quite a few years.

Hello
I may be a little late here but if your still looking for a complete cluster assy, I have 3.  Just like the one in the picture  Got them for my 88 f150 lariat.

[ArdWrknTrk]

Randy, I appreciate your offer, but Gary sent me a kind gift not long after this was posted.
