Yes, the cluster will work regardless of the 85/110 MPH on the cluster.

I had to solder a "jumper wire" on the back of my son's for the light to work. I also had to go to the dealer to buy a couple of those small #74 bulb holders. They were a couple dollars each.

See this thread for more info and pictures.

Make sure you change out you oil sending unit to an oil pressure switch before you install the cluster and start it up. Apparently it will fry the actual guage if you don't.

Good luck.

The 110 speedometers and 85 speedometers have their own special gearing, and will accomodate your speed correctly.

Mountaineer Tom is 110% correct! Before you even start disassembling the headress of the interior, CHANGE THE OIL PRESSURE switch! They're like 35 bucks at Kragen's, just make sure they look it up under an SR5 model truck for a "gauge-type switch". The switch itself is much larger than the "idiot light" one too, you can tell in comparison.

Other then that, its all plug and play. Since you have EFI, the tach should work no questions asked... and I don't think you'll need the #74 bulbs like TOM is saying. His "85 MPH" cluster is the "old school" cluster that was used on carbureted SR5's. It became slightly updated on the EFI equipped trucks with the 110mph clusters and uniform bulbs.
