MercManche Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 LHD or RHD I am used to modifying clusters at this point. Would make an awesome addition to my mercmanche build. Boost gauge isnt necessary as I need it to go to 20-25psi or so.
TheDude Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 If you don't need a boost gauge why search for a diesel cluster? 84-86 full clusters like that aren't nearly as hard to find.Founding Member of the Comanche Preservation Society

Pete M Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I don't mean to sound disparaging and I wish you luck in your search, but I've only seen a couple diesel gauge clusters pop up (separate from a whole Jeep) in the last few years and the owners wanted serious money for them or weren't willing to sell at all. the allure of that boost gauge is strong.

Its worth a shot, I can get em in the UK but I will only be going late this year if the whole pandemic bs stops. 6 minutes ago, Jesse J said: yeah I would just get a boost gauge. Yea I don't care for the boost gauge one bit, I want it because it would make the rest of the gauges a breeze. Maybe its hard to understand but trying to get signals from a diesel engine that only needs 1 wire to run is not as easy as it seems lol. Having a cluster that is set up for a diesel with similar rev ranges and all just makes it easier and is worth the $100-200 to me in place of buying and adapting like 6 different gauges and fabricating pods/panelling for them etc.
Pete M Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 oooo! if you're going to europe, that increases your chances of finding one greatly
