just buy a used cluster with a tach it plugs right in. beware your odometer will read what the doner truck had. look for one around your mileage on http//car-part.com/ like this; a good place to buy 1996 speedometersee also instr. cluster dodge truck 1500 series sport115kcluster 6487 $37.5 east bay auto parts usa-miinterlocken e-mail 1-800-332-9156 i have a 95 ram 1500 with a 3.9 5 speed manual. cant fugure out why they didnt put a tach on it as standard equip. anyway is all of the wiring there to change the cluster to one with a tach. are the connectors the same or am i looking a major project to change the cluster to a factory cluster with the tach thanks bilbo --- outgoing mail is certified virus free. checked by avg anti-virus system http//www.grisoft.com. version 6.0.522 / virus database 320 - release date 9/29/2003 .

on thu 2 oct 2003 145437 -0400 tbone fatchance@noway.now wrote yep when a growing number of people begin to behave in an irresponsible manor and endanger others the laws need to be adjusted to allow the police to deal with it. no the laws already in place need to be enforced. lol. they need to properly fit the crime and they dont. you are suggesting that a law needs to tell people not to use cell phones while driving when the reality is there are laws already in place against reckless driving. lol yea right. now you want to associate cell phone use with reckless driving. how would you do that what would be next talking to your passenger perhaps changing the radio station or looking at a gps whoa now cell phone use is reckless driving maxie youd have to prove that one. but in this case you cant because it isnt. unless you are also saying that cell phone use while driving isnt negligent in those cases where an accident occurred. neglect and reckless are two very different things. people also get into accidents when there is no cell phone involved. how do you know that the cell phone had anything to do with it or more importantly how do you prove it in court yep. another maxie trick. change horses in midstream. start out in reckless then call it negligence. cell phone usage in a case where it diverted the drivers attention and an accident took place certainly would justify a citation for negligent driving an infraction but would never support a charge of reckless driving a crime. once again tbone is absolutely correct. maxie is talking out his ass again. but maxie will just say that he is baiting you for a response. that is generally his excuse for his extreme ignorance and stupidity. i know and now he has his buddy roy helping him. i guess that i should take it as a compliment that his friends feel the need to help him. the sad part is that this time it is just a conversation . -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

probably been using quaker state or penns oil during a conversation on the durango the predisposition of the v6 engin to sludge and subsequently clog oil ports reared its ugly head. is this as common a problem even with 4k oil chages as i am being lead to believe is this a failure not coverd by the warantee grg *note to reply...remove the ys .

put the replacement cluster in today works great. the speedometer is interchangeable so i kept my odometer. i thought about using the new one since it was only at 70k and mine is 132k but my brother told me about the nightmare that a neighbor of his ran into when he took the vehicle in to get it smogged and it had fewer miles on it than last smog check due to the speedo being replaced. so i decided to forgo the headaches. bilbo on thu 2 oct 2003 110001 -0400 dick puter413@yahoo.com wrote just buy a used cluster with a tach it plugs right in. beware your odometer will read what the doner truck had. look for one around your mileage on http//car-part.com/ like this; a good place to buy 1996 speedometersee also instr. cluster dodge truck 1500 series sport115kcluster 6487 $37.5 east bay auto parts usa-miinterlocken e-mail 1-800-332-9156 i have a 95 ram 1500 with a 3.9 5 speed manual. cant fugure out why they didnt put a tach on it as standard equip. anyway is all of the wiring there to change the cluster to one with a tach. are the connectors the same or am i looking a major project to change the cluster to a factory cluster with the tach thanks bilbo --- outgoing mail is certified virus free. checked by avg anti-virus system http//www.grisoft.com. version 6.0.522 / virus database 320 - release date 9/29/2003 .
