92 2600i instrument cluster swap to 90 b2200

i just bought a 92 2600i the other day. it has the factory tach cluster in it. i havent decided whether to strip it od daily drive it as of yet... what i am wondering is will the 2600i fact. tach cluster swap into my 90 b2200 with no modifications?????
if there are mods... what exactly do i have to do to do the swap?

direct swap.

searh the forums.....there is a thread on exactly what you need to do. Note that in the walk through it mentions adding 2 wires to the factory plugs to add the clock and somethin else...I did NOT have to add those extra wires. I did find it MUCH easier to unscrew the speedo cable from the tranny...it took every bit of a couple extra minutes and made moving the speedo cable SO MUCH easier

...but you have to move the speedo cable over. If you push the cable back into the triangular hole it comes out of,and then push it immediately to the left,there is another hole which to route it through. Pop the hood and undo your cable from the clip on the fenderwell to give yourself some slack. The hardest part of this swap is to line up the cable with the cluster when reinstalling it.

Moving the cable over can be a bitch if you dont have enough slack too.

On both my tach clusters,neither had the clip on them for the cable to clip into,so it is just a friction fit,which is why it is so difficult to reinstall the cable into the tach cluster. Easiest way i found was to push the cable up through the dash as far as I could and try and line them up and then go under the dash with one had to keep the cable from pushing back and basically keeping pressure ont he cable and the cluster until it;s back in place.

start up the truck and run it up and down the street to make sure the speedo works. even if it doesnt,everything else will. Depending on the truck,the clock may or may not work. It worked when I put it in my ext cab,but not in my std cab,yet it was the same cluster I used.

Have fun!

The only real mod is the clock. but its ugly as hell anyway, lol. I took mine from my 1st LX single cab, and put it in a base model cab plus, and had no problems, even with the clock. I'll see if the clock works when I put it in my base single cab with the rotary.

thanks guys... appreciate it... maybe i'll do a write up about it and take alot of pics and get a tech article out of it.

i appreciate it

lol,it's really simple. i think it took me longer to write you the directions than what it would take to install it.

Yah very simple swap. Hardest part is hooking the damn speedo cable back up.

Just bwosing and saw this..

BTW, swapping it out for a later cluster, I'm thinking that '93 and newer, you can get glow gauges for the cluster, which would look reeeal nice, lol.
