91 non tach/ 94 tach
What has to be done to make this work? I got a 91 truck that's non tach and have a 94 parts truck that has a tach cluster.
Thanxs

Re: 91 non tach/ 94 tach
The 91 is the half moon gauges right? I think those are quite different than 94 and requires a lot of work-connector on the back is different. They only made a “plug and play” for a 91 for like 6 months
I have a 92 which is needle style not half moon. A tach cluster was plug and play |

It can be done, but needs to be repinned. 91 with tach will almost be plug n play. I have a 91 tach dash if ur interested.

Re: 91 non tach/ 94 tach
Well here's where I'm at with it now. I've removed the 94 dash as a complete dash, unplugged the harness from the firewall bulkhead. Do I need to just remove the engine harness under the hood from the 94 and put it in the 91 with the complete dash swap out?
Thanxs guys ..

Re: 91 non tach/ 94 tach
There is no engine or transmission information so I can't answer some questions you sent me in the private message.
1994 pickups with automatic transmissions were electronically shifted by the computer. The only 1991 trucks that were electronically shifted were the big blocks that had the 4L80E transmission. A 1994 with an automatic transmission has an 8192 baud rate PCM. A 1991 pickup without a big block using a 4L80E would have a 160 Baud rate C3 ECM. There are very big differences in the wiring between these two vehicles. Can a 1994 instrument panel be put in a 1991? - Yes but it will take a bit of work. In 1991 the DRAC module was built into the instrument cluster. In 1994 the DRAC module was separate from the instrument panel assembly. To put a 1994 instrument panel in a 1991 you are going to have to wire in a DRAC module to make it work. You will need the instrument panel connector from a 1994. You will have to recalibrate the DRAC module for your truck.

Re: 91 non tach/ 94 tach
With these trucks your best bet for swapping between design changes is find same year with what you want and do total swap wiring, electronics, components. Then it's just work. But that can be a needle in a haystack. Your decision is probably best
