Default Adjusting Instrument Cluster Needles

Anybody got a quick way to adjust the RPM, Speedometer, Gas, Voltage, Oil Pressure, and Temperature needles? Removed them to do some work, just need to get them back to normal.

Not sure you can. Most vehicles are setup to where you can't adjust them. Basically you take them off your screwed

Here is description of the dakota calibration. The cluster in the Ram works the same.

EDIT: Forgot that you can also use same OBDII Reader to see live values. You can compare them with the instrument values to set the needles to the correct position

I guess the rams did not get the digital odometer as early as the dakotas as my 97 ram does not have digital odometer.
