Have an 1985 D150. Came with the idiot light for oil and temp. Bought what I believe to be a 1987 full cluster with gauges for oil and temp. Even though the connections look similar, it is not plug and play as hoped. Should I be looking at changing out sending units? Just need some detailed direction. Thanks! |

You will need to get the sending units for the oil pressure gauge and coolant temp gauge. You will then need to get a factory service manual and compare the wiring diagrams for the guages vs. the lights wiring harnesses and make any modifications necessary. |

My 84 D-100 had idiot lights. Not sure what gauges I swapped in but I think they were either 84 or 88 gauges using the stock 84 cluster assembly. All the wiring was the same. Had to swap out the senders/sensors to the gauge type. |
