Canadian cluster

I've seen a ton with metric speedometers, but metric oil pressure and engine temp? I picked it up from a guy who said it was from a diesel [obviously] 4x4 Suburban.

Re: Canadian cluster

Huh, like I said I've only ever seen the metric speedo. I only paid $25 for it too, AND if I go with another diesel, it has the fuel gauge I like with letters rather than circles!

Kinda wish I had my '87 V1500 diesel back now... my Blazer has a white faced tach cluster in it, I'd love to have had this cluster in my truck.

Re: Canadian cluster

Hmmm, the cluster in my '86 has all metric gauges but It seems to have missed out on the trip odometer.

Re: Canadian cluster

I believe the metric speedo showed up in '77 and the metric oil pressure and temp showed up in '82. My '81 has the metric speedo and standard oil pressure and temp.
