I was wondering if anyone has used the gauges / instrument cluster off a newer truck for an alternative to replacement gauges? The ones that I as looking at were the 95-00 or 99-07 versions in full size gm trucks.
After going through the schematics of each it seems that the 95-00 ones are more straight forward similar to the original gauges where the senders are wired directly into the cluster, and the warning lights are analog triggers. The 99-07 did not appear to be friendly for an alternative application where everything is based off digital signals from various computer modules bcm, pcm, and so on.
I would prefer the appearance of the newer cluster but it seems that the only way to get that in is along with an ls swap, I was just wondering if anyone has had any luck retrofitting either into trucks of this era without major wiring headaches?
