Damn Bleeder you got more air time from this thread than Paris Hilton did from her......um...... video thread thing....... or something.


How's it feel to help out this many people? I'll bet you feel even better when you get off the computer and finish that motor.


Great job and nice write up man, we need to get this thing stickied.

edit: Just so folks don't think I'm just talking trash I used this write up to do the SR5 swap into my 89 DLX. It made things easy peasy.

thank you very much Junk!

that means a lot, for real

that's why I made the thread; every week there was another thread asking about the swap, so I figured I'd try to help out as good as I could





oh and yes, I'm ready for my motor to be DONE already

I'm about to do this but I think first I'm going to swap in some blue leds. Hopefully the tach works because that's the main reason I'm doing this. The cluster is from a 94 v6 runner so it should be all good.

I believe its. In the top right corner when looking at the back. Its a white thing with a phillips slot on the side. I think that's the screw but I have no idea which direction or how much a bump is lol[GVIDEO][/GVIDEO]

A little trick I learned swapping my cluster yesterday. If you are interested in swapping your old odometer. When you pull the little bushing off shown in the first pic, turn it in a counter clockwise direction only. That keeps the odometer against the stop at 0. If you rock it back and forth it will stretch the spring. Great write up.

i just did the swap today.. the rpm is off though. It came out of a 3.0 4runner, and I have the 22re. How do you get the rpm gauge to work for a 4cyl?

Theres a potentiometer on the back of the tach. You will another tach to calibrate it, but all you do is, adjust that screw. When i did mine i just bumped so slightly.

Hope that helps

The sencor you want to replace your old sencor with will cost about 5 times more, but you'll need it in order to make your oil pressure gauge read:

The original plug-in will still work though. Instead of plugging straight onto the sendor, the plug-in just slides onto the new sendor's tab with no modifications

dash lights

nice work and write up!

how many dash light bulbs are there? Are they all the same kind? My CEL is out, and your point about redoing them all is a great idea, so when I crack this sucka open I'd like to know how many dash lights I'll be changing. Is there a little kit?
