I have a 1998 F150 XL 4x4 with a 4.6l and a 5spd. As it is the XL package it did not come with a tach. I have purchased an XLT guage cluster from a 1998 F150. My truck does not have PATS as I was able to make a key at a local store for 3 bucks and it worked and it has manual locks and windows.

I believe that I read that the truck is already wired for a tach and I am wondering if this will be a simple remove and replace? Has anybody performed this? Also, the idiot lights are not all in the same position between the two clusters.....will this cause problems or will they light up correctly once plugged in....

I am a bit of a noob on this so any and all comments will be very much appreciated.

Thanks
Stephen
