HEY INSTALL A TACH IN 92-96 F150, F250, BRONCO. YOU CAN PURCHASE THESE GUAGES ON EBAY OR THROUGH THE SALVAGE YARDS FAIRLY CHEAP AROUND 70-160 DOLLARS BUT IS ADIRECT SWAP WITH NO MODIFICATIONS. JUST UN PLUG YOUR OLD CLUSTER AND PLUG IN THE NEW CLUSTER.

HERE IS A LINK TO CHECK OUT THE GUAGE

Will it show your mileage or the mileage of the truck the cluster came out of?

The clusters are different for airbag vs. non airbag, and rear abs pickups vs 4wheel abs broncos. Not a direct swap.

If this fits your truck. It says it came out of a 94 so it should fit a 94-96

You can swap the PSOM (programmable speedometer-odometer module) from your non-tach cluster into the tach cluster and install the resulting assembly with your PSOM included. That way you can keep your mileage reading intact.

 

The 92 thru 96 will fit they are almost identical guages the only problem is in 1996 they incorperated the ABS diode and resistor into the instrument pannel printed circuit board and not in the wiring harrness like 92-95 models therefore the ABS light stays on all the time. if you get the 96 instrument pannel it will work just fine. They are not Engine specific nor ABS specific. I have done all the research and trial and error. as far as the PSOM the PSOM is universal between non tach and tach guage clusters therefore you can keep your original PSOM and it will still reflect the original mileage. they pop in and out with no problem. I have reviewed all the wiring diagrams for all the model years from 92-96, both 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive and RABSII and 4wABS systems and this is a direct fit for all the above. Even for manual transmissions. which then the only thing different is a block off plate where the selector usually goes.

 

Your wrong on that. they have no effect on what ABS system you use cause that is all inside the ADB module. All this does is display ABS light which it doesn't know what type of ABS system you have. Airbag ? find a 92-96 truck with out airbags? I'm sure they are out there but as FORD's basic model has airbags I find it hard to believe that models above it don't and again this is a guage assembly and has nothing to do with ABS or AIRBAGS. it has Dummy lights that come one when something doesn't work so if for some reason you don't have airbags then there should be no reason the dummy light would come on since it would be part of that circuit and if there is no cicuit/ module to turn on the light... THen what?

 

Hey adrainspeeder, I have installed over 50 of these in every model year from 92-96 and I, myself have a 96. I do this stuff for a living. I have never had any complaints nor any problems. I did when I originally installed a 94 in my 96 thats when i found out about the diode and resistor since then i have never had a problem. I also have sold many on these online through ebay and still have never had any problems and I keep in contact will everyone I work with so why do you got to be so negative? Cant you accept the fact that you might be wrong in something?

 

We had a 92 F150 4X4 XL and also a 93 F150 4X4 XLT and neither of them had air bags. Because of this I always thought that 94 was the first year for the driverside airbag in the F150s.

 

Yet still get your hands on a parts interchanger program like the Hollander system and they point out that the 92-95 models are the same and 96 is a year specific so airbags or not they still work. like I said before if you don't have airbags then there is nothing to turn on the light so it won't effect you at all. besides if the light did come on for some reason and I can't see why cause there is no circuit to turn it on and you don't have airbags (remove the bulb) that easy. See the Airbags control module sends a signal to the PCM and the PCM sends a signal to the instrument pannel to turn on the Lamp so if there is no Airbags there would be no Airbag module therefore nothing to send a signal to the PCM to turn on the lamp.

 

Ok, if I'm wrong I'm wrong From the research I've done it was different but if you say so i'll believe it. Why are you so wound up?

However, all '92-'93 trucks/bronco are non airbag, and '94-'97 F-2/350/Superduty are also non airbag.

Pull up any 92/93 and see for yourself. Only the '94-'96 F-150/Bronco got em.

Correct!


When we sold our '94 F-150 (aith airbag), and purchased our '96 F-250, I was very suprised to find that it didnt have an airbag.

 

A quick glance at the EVTMs will tell you that an airbag cluster will NOT work as a DIRECT swap into a NON-airbag truck, & vice versa. It can be MADE to work if you understand 12V wiring, but it's NOT a "direct swap".

And I'm not being negative - I'm POSITIVE about that! I've sold/installed several, too.

 

Yeah, uh no. I'm pretty sure 94 is the first year with airbags. My 93 does not have one, nor does my buddy's 92. Or my other buddy's 93 as a matter of fact. Also... adrianspeeder is never wrong. Go sell your junk elsewhere bud.

 

Thanks bud, but I'm human, and can be wrong.

Shawn, I was thinkin, if you have put these into '92-'93s you would have seen there is no airbag
