Instrument cluster swap

[rclay]

I have a Class C motorhome w/ E350 Chassis. It has the 7.3L w/ Banks non-wastegated Turbo package (3" Banks exhaust and Transcommand). My trip meter button is broken and half the lights do not work. I would like a tach and found a 1993 F350 Diesel instrument cluster and want to know if this would be a simple swap. I assume I will have to run a wire from the tach sensor (on the IP) to the cluster. Are the rest of the pins on the harness the same? Does someone have a schematic or wiring diagram for the two clusters? Any help would be greatly appreciated. What about speedo programming? Thanks.

IIRC Eric (yaric008) has done this swap...if he doesn't reply to this thread, you may try sending him a PM. I seem to recall him saying that it wasn't that difficult, but I don't remember for sure...

What year is your truck that you want to put the 93 cluster in to?

I swapped a 89 interior and gauges and dash into my 86, i assume the 93 will be about the same, except the speedometer

I thought the van and truck clusters were very different? It would be possible to take a tach and make a housing for it and mount it like an accessory gauge.

Sorry. 1992 E350

The van clusters are pretty different in the older van, but it seems like in the 92 and up vans they are the same, or close to the truck
