99-04 gauges in our cars?

[BlackVert]

what does it take to use a 99-04 gauge cluster in our cars?

these guys make the gauges i want:

but they apparently only make them for 99-04 stangs, not pre-99

 

[inphiniti]

i was just lookin at that... just like tom said, he was special LOL

i want the gauge pod for the center but im not sure if thatll fit either... any help would be cool!

 

[Blackened302]

do you want the actual faces, the whole thing, or just the rings?

i want the rings alone--perhaps they'd be interested in doing a group buy?

 

[87_GT]

i want those rings as well. if they would allow a group buy, i would be all over it.

 

[The Green GT]

Those are sweet.

Id definitely save up for a whole cluster if they made them.

 

[BlackVert]

i want the whole cluster. i'm gonna call them tomorrow. maybe they can give us an option, but is there a way to use 99+ gauges on our cars?

 

[BlackVert]

if they can't (won't) do anything for us, i guess i can go this route, with white face gauges and silver edging:

things are damn expensive tho

I believe you just swap a few wires in the plugs. Or I might be thinking of a '96-98.

 

[BlackVert]

where's jt when you need him?

96-98 is just a few wire swap


99+ would be a bitch IMO. it has PATS built into it which is fords passive anti theft system whitch does not allow the car to start without recieving a signal from the chip in the key. also has digital odometer with mileage stored in it.


to swap one in you would most likely need to use the 99+ ECU also with the wiring and i dont even know if the ECU could be tweaked enough to run the 5.0

better off with a gauge overlay and rings or the florida5.0 cluster

Sounds like it would be easier and maybe cheaper to just get a '99+. lol

lol, this thread didn't take long to get started.

 

[BlackVert]

yep, you're a damn troublemaker!

jt, any thoughts?

The autometer/simco cluster looks great. I wish there was a way of putting it in cars w/o a digital cluster.

i just won this item:

so if i go with a 4 gauge setup from the florida people, and 2 more gauges on the sides, i think i'll be in good shape.

now ... what gauges?

i'm thinking: speedo, tach, fuel level, water temp, oil pressure, and battery voltage

thoughts?

 

[Cheyeter]

is there anyway to get the 99-04 autometer lunar series gauge cluster to fit in our cars?
swapping harness ends?
rewire?

 

[ModularSN95]

^ good ?

 

[Cheyeter]

anyone know where to get a detailed drawing or wiring schematic to a 99-04 gauge cluster and a 94-95 gauge cluster??

Hey blackvert sorry to hijack the tread how's your car running did you get the tranny thing fixed?
