what's going on guys today we are back new episode so if you're like me your
trucks gauge cluster looks like this as you can see it doesn't have a tachometer
it doesn't have like a voltmeter it it's oil pressure gauge isn't a gauge it's a
little light so yeah in this episode I'm gonna teach you how to sr5 cluster swap
also this is kind of a two part video ish because not only am I going to show
you how to cluster swap I'm gonna show you how to get your tach working if your
three-point-four swapped like myself cuz I'm doing cool with it once because I
never had a tach before this so before you get started you want to make sure
that you got the right gauge cluster to put in because there's two different
styles on these trucks there's the cable driven and there's
also the electronic speedo. there's a fairly easy way to check if you have a
cable or an electronic speedometer without even pulling your gauge cluster
all you need to do is look at your transfer case and on the back your
transfer case you'll see where the cable goes in and/or the wires go in at the
back by the flange there so the first thing you're gonna want to do here is
remove the front piece of plastic to get at the tack easiest way is to kind of
push these from these tabs on the top in and work your way down and eventually
that'll come free what else it's a couple on the bottom two so that pulled
out the bottom and that piece is now free so the next step is to actually
take out let's screw this through this screw and the tach should be free
so now that the tack is out you can actually see what we have mod this point
and this point right here if you get this 10 ohm resistor soldered in so
let's do that so now as you can see I have soldered this resistor in here and
it's ready to be put in the truck
another thing I should mention before you get too carried away in this is you
will need an oil pressure sensor for that specific gauge cluster if you just
use the one that's already in your truck for the non sr5 gauge it will blow that
gauge because it's designed for a light so make sure you get one of these I'll
show you how to swap it later. So now it's back together let's go throw it in
the truck so let's start by getting the other one out um pretty simple
straightforward here remove this panel probably remove this panel don't know if
we need to remove it all but we'll find out
I realize that it's really hard to see but the plugs are on the top here you
got to do undo those before to let you pull it out like at least mine I've got
like no room here to play, so I'm going to try and get those out
If your like me or your tack doesn't work for some reason after you install it you
gotta run your tack wire to this little P here so get a clip or not C or a clip
or a hoop or something put the wire through there I'll show you what it
looks like when it's done and then I'll show you where to run it to if your
vehicle has a 3.4 engine swap like mine so as you can tell I got that guy on
there I got a coupler here so that I can remove it when I remove the cluster in
the future so to get your tach signal it's actually pretty straightforward if
you go down to this guy here on your passenger fender well we go one two
three third wire in you can see right there
that's where I spliced it it's right now it's just temporary to test it I'm gonna
actually make a permanent connection here but yeah third wire in it should
just be straight black as you can see the tach works
it reads the same rpm that my chip here reads which is awesome the temperature
works the speedo works I already tested that voltmeter works and gas gauge does
not work now that's a separate problem that has to do with my fuel level
sending unit in my tank also oil pressure sensor I had did not hook that
up yet but it's currently disconnected so that it doesn't blow the gauge right
there right beside the oil filter there it is as you can see it takes an
electrical plug I already pulled that off and yeah that's a 22 millimeter
socket to get that off so we're gonna get that off and put on the sr5 cluster
one that is the sr5 cluster oil pressure gauge sensor and it is installed
and it is in as you can see we have temperature we have oil pressure, RPM
gauge works speedo works, we have voltage. Only thing that doesn't work is the fuel
gauge but as I said earlier that's a different issue all right guys that's
the end of this episode I hope you enjoyed how do you install the sr5
cluster into your 3 liter or Toyota pickup or a forerunner also how to do
the tack mod for 3.4 swaps 3rz swaps and stuff like
that anyways if you guys like this video give me a thumbs up subscribe and I'll
see you the next one peace
