Different dashes for a 85?
I am just wondering. Do any of the 85 rams have different dashes? Or something that will interchange between years? I think the speedo in my D100 goes to 80, and all it has are idiot lights.Or am I just going to have to install gauges myself?

RE: Different dashes for a 85?
When these trucks came out the spd limit was 55, 85mph speedos [not referring to somebody on a bicycle] is all I've seen. Guages were standard on anything but the base models. Obviously you'dchange the senders,I'm not sure about the dash harness, the gauge setup has a limiter on the back of the panel. The senders are one wire ground circuits, the gas gauge would require the limiter on the idjit light setup,so chances are the gauge type panel would be a plug in deal, just eyeball the circuit board to make sure. My truck came with idjit lights too, if it'll help you out ,I'll pull it out and check,as I've got an extra gauge type panel or two. I put aftermarketguages in mine.

I would appreciate it. Do you have a pic of your dash?
