Gauge Cluster questions... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Vince M · 12-02-2003, 12:40 AM

If I have a dash with the basic gauge cluster can I remove it and just plug in a dash cluster with all the gauges and expect it to work? I was wondering if everthing is wired up to the gauge plug and ready to go. I'm aware that the oil line would have to be run..just curious on the rest of it.

Thanks

Talk to Mrs72shadetree, she just finished doing it. Look for her post.

nope.......you need to go to GMC Paul's site. He has a section on how to switch the dummy light cluster for a gauge cluster. The wiring is different. www.GMCPauls.com

DON'T DO IT!!!
While you may be amused at the way the lights work...the fuel guage spinning around a few times will make you cringe...and then the small puff of smoke that comes out of it will make you wanna cry.

Trust me.

Like frogs said go to Gmcpauls site and follow the directions , It is really easy to follow and had no complications everything works now but my gas guage and it needs a sending unit.

Thanks for all the help. Went to GMC Pauls site and found the info needed. Now I know what I'm doing tomorrow.
