    cluster swap

    I tried the search feature but could not find the answer to my question. I have a '95 F150 XLT, 300 ci six with a 5 speed manual trans and I'd like to swap the non tach cluster for one with a tach. I'm guessing that there may be some issues especially since most of the tach clusters probably came from trucks with the V8s and auto slushboxes....

    Bought a cluster w/ tach from Ebay which I received and installed yesterday; swap was simple and straightforward. It's too bad Ford didn't deem it necessary to make this cluster standard especially with the manual transmission trucks....

    I'm thinking that I have a grounding problem. When I first bought the truck, the previous owner, a close friend and co-worker said that the fuel gauge for the front tank(when switched), power windows and power locks quit working over a year ago; since I work at a dealership, I have co-workers who are repair techs and one of them diagnosed the problem as a "bad" ground. Well he "fixed" the problem by cutting the ground wire for the windows and wiring a direct ground to the chassis. Now the problem is every once in a while, my "CHECK ENGINE" light comes on and the fuel gauge will work and then quit. Any of you guys have this same problem??
