urimashe Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 So, I replaced the old gauge cluster and lock timer, new ones work, cept the new tach does act up only slightly, least it works 90% better then the last, what I am asking is, what parts usualy go bad on the boards, so when I volt test them, what am I looking for? im going to try and fix them both.

ahardb0dy Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 did you replace the gauge cluster with the same type? Usually the voltage regulator is what fails on the back of the cluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urimashe Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 yea, its a cluster from a 95 like mine, only difference is it is a 2x4 manual pathy, mine is a 4x4. but from what I can tell, same gauge, right down to the screws in the back.

silverton Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 round dash trucks are notorious for this behavior. I'm not sure it's so much the voltage regulator on the round dashes as the components just fail. I think the VR thing is on the older square dash trucks.
