Shane Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I have an 89 MJ 4x4 automatic on the column, therefore, it has PRND32-1 in the cluster. I am switching from the idiot lights over to the actual gauges w/ the tach. Is there any advice on how to modify the cluster to accomdate. I do not like the idea of having the PRND32-1 sitting on the column and I do not have the $$$ to switch to a floor shift. I will appreciate any and all advice . Thanks again. Shane

Shane Didn't you ask this same question like last week? If you do not like the idea of the shift indicator sitting on the column, suggest you invest in a Dremel tool and carefully hack a slot to mount your existing indicator, then figure out a way to mount it in the new cluster as there are no mounting posts provided in the full gauge clusters. Good luck!
Shane Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 Thanks for the advice. I did not ask this question last week. If I had, I would not have asked this week, however I remember the thread , but could not locate it when I neede it. I may go w/ BookspanS advice. I'll stay in touch. Shane
88 Beast Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Hello all. my first post. I installed gauge cluster last week. "88" with auto shift on column. Gauge cluster had mount posts for PRNDL mount . Careful measurements and Dremel works great. Now back to the JY for a clock, should have grabbed it when I got cluster :doh:
Shane Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 Hey hey HORNBROD!!! Do you like apples? How do you like them apples??? Thanks again to those who like to help others without being rude...
BLHTAZ Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Hey hey HORNBROD!!! Do you like apples? How do you like them apples??? Thanks again to those who like to help others without being rude... Hey Shane...I don't see where he was rude :hmm: . He simply remembered that the same question was asked and thought it was you. He offered good advice from personal experience. The new guy obviously lucked up and found a rare cluster that had what he needed...it happens. If anyone is being rude, I would have to lay that one on you here... ;) :cheers:

Careful measurements and Dremel works great. Now back to the JY for a clock, should have grabbed it when I got cluster :doh: Had the same experience putting a full cluster from a 88 in to my 87. Had mounting posts. IIRC, had to modify something to be able to use them though. But it worked. And Hornbrod is correct, a dremel tool is your friend.

Shane Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 My intentions in this thread was not to offend any one. I got carried away. I fmy remarks ruffled ant feathers I apologize for that was not my intention Thanks to all for the great advice. Shane
88 Beast Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I must have been REAL lucky because I got two clusters in case one didn't work. Both had mount for PRNDL. One from an "88" and one from an "89" Chero. Both worked but I used the "88" because it was within 400 mi. of my "dummy" cluster. Still got the "89" just in case.
