Default no white gauges here

I don't like white faced gauges. So every 2002-up Ram has them that I've seen. Checked eBay, the only black faced gauges I see have funky lettering and flames all over them

How do I go about getting black face, white letter, traditional gauge faces if I get one of these trucks, since it's the only way to get a Cummins engine in a 3/4 ton sized truck?

Or am I stuck with 94-01 bodystyle trucks?

How about stainless steel with red or blue color illumination?

Not really. Need white on black. I'll keep looking around, if the LMC one was black in the daytime that'd be great. Didn't know LMC had Dodge stuff...I have their 73-87 Chevy and 57-72 Ford catalogs somewhere on my desk.

I guess putting a 2G cluster in a 3G truck is out of the question?

I own both a '98 and an '07. I beg to differ on interior design. I do prefer the better access to the rear and the white faced gauges on the '07. General dash design, seat comfort, and control operation was better on the 2nd gen. The current dash looks like its chopped up into three sections. What's up with that!

I hate white faced gauges as well.......The red needels have a ghoasting effect when sunlight shine's on them....Night time is not as bad, but I prefer the 2nd generation Ram intermintation

I love the white face too. When I first got it, all my buddies asked me where I got the gauges. From the factory I said. It might have been one small reason why I bought the truck too. Among others...
