Default 1999 Ram 1500 gauge problems

I have a 2 part question. 1. My 1999 Ram 1500, had a small gas fire in the engine compartment. It got 4 wires in the main wire harness. I made all the repairs, when I start the engine it runs great but my gauges are jumping around. I replace the computer with no luck. Any suggestions? 2. The truck came without a tach in the cluster, if I replace the cluster with one with a tach. Will the tach work or not?

Which four wires?

Installing the cluster with a tach is hit and miss. Works for some folks, doesn't for others..... Try it, see what happens.

If they are both same number of cylinders, and trans type, should swap right in.
