What you need to find out is if your truck is electronic speedometer or cable and find out what the 4runner is and if their both the same than yea you can swap um and won't have to adjust the tach. If your truck was prewired for the tach if not you may have to run a wire. If you do the swap unplug the idiot light sensor so you don't ruin the oil gauge until you swap in the oil pressure gauge sender.

a 94 truck will be most likely be a electronic speedo and will have tach wiring already pre-installed.

As for the swap, electronic speedo was in trucks from 92-95. It can be either from V6 or 4cyl, if it is from v6, then you have to turn a white pot at the back to adjust the tach readout to match 4cyl.

I have the same setup and would like to go to a gauge with tach, I've got a 94 22re 5 speed 2wd, its got the electric speedo.

And I was hoping my original cluster was BAD because the speedo and odo dont work, that way when I put in the sr5 cluster, it would hopefully fix the issue, but nope... side note: My buddy has a 95 with elec speedo that is willing to swap the sensor to see if it fixes my issue, so I'll know that result on the weekend.

I already looked at the search that Discombobulated posted about, and read it in and out, didn't solve my problem, and another side note: the truck in that sr5 cluster swap with pics thread is a cable driven system anyways. I dont know what toyopower has (cable or elec, I'm assuming cable since he didnt post anything later).

I actaully went to a junkyard and got 3 clusters with gauges cheap cuz my mom works in the office, the gauges were from two 93 4runners and a 95 4runner (all 3 were with v6's but it shouldnt be a problem cuz I could just adjust the tach, but they were all automatics, so I dont know if that effects the outcome) and I couldnt find any pickups with gauges, or speed sensors to steal from.

Anyways, I tried all 3 of the gauges and none of them worked, so I'm wondering if all three were bad( I doubt), or if my truck is even wired for it, or if it is then I could have an electric signal problem to the tach. I looked through the 93 fsm manual I found on another thread, the website is:
http://personal.utulsa.edu/~nathan-buchanan/93fsm/index.html

On that site it doesnt tell you what color the wires are supposed to be for the connectors in the back of the cluster, and I cant find one for 93 or 95 4runners to compare to.

I'm driving back up to NorCal tomorrow morning cuz I was down in SoCal visitng, I'm gonna return them and get my money back from the junkyard

Any help would be appreciated, I've done a bunch of searches and havent come across anything to solve it

And when I say solve it I mean like checking voltage at this pin or that one you know. Resistance checks aren't always reliable

The bottom line is, from reading all the posts you can get it to work with a little hard work

Well just came in from taking out the old cluster to see if it would fit, and No go it didn't even fit in the hole and i have three plugs and the other one had four so there goes the answer.
An 89-95 4runner cluster will not fit a 1987 4runner. thanks 4 the replies
