Gauge cluster swap

[GMC1994K1500SierraSL]

Just wondering if it would be possible to swap my 94 GMC Sierra 1500 gauge cluster with no tachometer for a gauge cluster from a 94 Chevy suburban that's fully loaded with a tachometer very easily? They are both 5.7L TBIs, is it possible?

You *may* have to run a wire to the ignition coil for the tach to function, but I doubt it on that year model. It should be plug'n'play otherwise.

92-94 it's direct plug and play for non-tach cluster upgrade to tach cluster. Just be sure to get one from a truck with a similar engine - V8 for V8, V6 for V6. And in case it wasn't obvious, don't get a cluster from a diesel truck.

I think the donor truck is a 2wd, mines a 4x4 that won't make a difference?

what Richard said... it's a matter of taking one out and putting the other back in. piece of cake.

Well you do have to swap the odometers, but that's not difficult either. If we don't have a write up for that, FSC does.

The odometer readings are almost the same actually haha
