Now there is a can of worms..... Gotta remember, the cluster in your 01 gets ALL of the information for it to display via the communications bus with the PCM. Even the friggin gas gauge. The newer engines use different (incompatible) protocols for communication...... Gotta figger out how you are going to solve that one.
