replacing instrument cluster
Hi all,
I just got an instrument cluster with a tach for $19. The seller cut the trans indicator cable loop. Should I send it back or could I fix it with parts from my old one? I colud get another one close to home, intact for $40.
I have a 1989 f150 302 with an auto transmission. My old cluster works fine. I just wanted a tach. The "new" cluster has only 19k, 119K, or 219k miles)
Thanks,
Lance
