A Gauge Cluster Question....

I am wondering if any1 knows what has to be done to replace my stock cluster (speedo, fuel, and generator) with a full cluster that has fuel, tach, amp, vacuum, oil pressure and temp. How about the harness? Tach? Temp and oil pressure switches? Thanks.

Yep he sure does, here is the link to what needs to be done > http://www.gmcpauls.com/Tech%20Tips1.htm

Go down the page a little and you will see it.
You would need a different temp sending unit, a hard line(maybe some fittings) for oil pressure and vacuum pressure, you will also need the tach wiring harness which is very easy to install(about 15 minutes).
The wiring swap depending on your knowledge of these trucks should take the better part of a day to a full weekend, like I said depending on you. You have some wire and fuses,(misc connectors) sending units and stuff, so a part run or two will be in the cards for sure.
