i just inherited a 95' 2500, looking at the speedomoter, its in kph on top instead of mph on top. Anyone know if i can get this fixed?

 

Yeah, just buy another cluster on ebay.

 

+1 on above. when my speedo broke i got one for $25, + $25 for shipping. i matched the year. not sure if thats critcal or not. also your odometer will display from the new cluster.

 

alright thanks alot guys. theres no special thing i have to do programming wise or anything?

 

i didn't change anything in my 01 and it's more computerized (obd II) than your 95 (obd I).

good question though...
for the speedo, the needle is in the same place, you'll just have the inner/outer ring of numbers reversed.
HOWEVER, your odometer is currently registering kilometers, and you'll want it to measure miles. so is that gearing (or computer logic) inside the cluster ?? or a gear or sensor in the transmission tail or the pcm. i'd guess its in the cluster. i'd say just get one and try it.
anybody else know ?

i bought my daughter's first car at a local auction. 99 corolla. it was a trade-in from a local dealer. i thought i looked it over real close. turned out it was a canadian car with km.. didn't notice it till the drive home. i didn't want to mess around with it so we just left it that way. actually it was easier to keep up w/oil changes since 5000 km = about 3000 mi.

 

^^^yah canadian clusters are better anyways if i were you id keep it ittl make your truck worth twice as much

oh and btw your gonna have factory DRL's too

 

Mileage is stored by the ECM, not in the cluster... The cluster just displays it...

94 - 97 had analog gauges and odometers...

98 - 01 had analog gauges and digital odometers...

Just make sure you get one form an either an auto or a manual, depending on what you have... Manuals lack the gear indicators...

 

thanks guys, appreaciate the help. its funny to see all my buddies get in it and look at the gauge and say damn! this truck is fast!

 

correct on auto vs manual. but it seemed that the PRNDL was a bolt in module. on my 01 the junk yard had clipped the cable and made it unusable, but i was able to move my old one into the cluster. the manual shift version 'might' have a plug/spacer that bolts in there.

but i disagree on how the mileage is displayed. mileage is stored in both the pcm and cluster, but at least on my 01 its displayed from the cluster. my original mileage was 130k, but after replacing the cluster i had 115k, exactly as photographed in the ebay add ( i assume it was photo'd before it was removed from the donor, or maybe they just apply power to make it display.)
