98 Ram 1500. 360, 456 gears posi front and rear. Work in progress....Love my dodge..

Now the bad... I took the instrument cluster out to put those stupid white stickers on. Idiot boy ME!!!! pulled the needles off. Now all the gauges are wrong..Any help would be great...jim

 

First of all Welcome ! Second ....all of them ? might have to be a trial and error sort of thing .

 

download Torque on your phone (hoping you have a droid)

purchase a bluetooth adapter.. (ELM327, $20)

hook em' up..

get a fine point pen.. leave the plastic off the gauges..

find a stretch of road where you can set the cruise..

observe your RPM's via Torque- mark the gauge.. same w/ speed.. same w/ temperature and volts and oil pressure..

I'm not saying it will be perfect, but it will be close enough.

 

Or find a cluster in a JY.

Welcome to DF.

 

Wouldn't you have to install the dials while driving? LOL Maybe jack the rear end off the ground, at least to do the speedo.

 

I think there are other complications when doing that. Like having to go to the dealer for a flash. I could be wrong.

 

Only to get the mileage set correctly.

 

Even with a flash for odometer to be correct...shouldn't cost too much should it?

Oh, wait. It is a dealer thing....never mind the foolish "shouldn't cost too mcuh" thing...

 

Yup to that. LOL I know there are threads with guys that have F'd up the same thing. But since the search function works so great, I cant find them at the moment. Maybe a few more days of searching and I will. LMAO.

 

Ah yes, the quest for the elusive thread, and the inadequate search engine..... You have my condolences Sir Zman. May the gods smile upon you, and grant you success in your quest.
