1990 burb gauge cluster in 1983c10 anyone done this
 

Was wondering if anyone has put 1990 suburban gauges in a c10 how hard was it? I have a 1983 with a 6.0 lq4. Don't want aftermarket gauges!

I believe it should bolt in,Only thing different i know between the two is the speedo cable and speed input thing.

I've done it. You will repin your original connector.

I'm using mine in my 85 with an 06 vortec 4.8 and 4L60E. Works great. I tapped the bypass above my oil filter for the 91 oil pressure sensor (you will use one of the 3 wires) and cut down (turned it down in a lathe and put the 10mm threads on it) a factory 80's coolant sender to fit the rear hole in the passenger side head.

Where did you find wiring diagram for repining cluster plug? I have found several and no two show the same thing? Did you hook the vss wire directly to the cluster wiring? Thanks,

The ECM wire for speedo out goes right to the cluster. Check engine too.

I have a wiring diagram for the suburban gauge cluster, but still need one for a 83 C-10. I have read through the ones posted but I am wiring challenged could really use a easier one to read. thanks
