Guage cluster parts...what years fit 90?

My speedometer, odometer and gear indicator are all shot. The circuit board on the speedo is burnt up and the cable for the gear indicator is gone. I'm looking to get a replacement cluster, but can't find one for a 90.

Does anyone know what years will fit? I would guess 90-93 would be the same, but I don't know.

Thanks

The cable would work from 81-93. But speedo and odometer will only work from 90-93 which are electric. 89 was the last year for the mechanical speedo.

I'm gonna say 90-92 Since the 93 speedometers are totally different internally (They get rid of the typical gears that brake)

Ok, the cable I'm not too worried about. I think I can fix the one I have if I need to. It's pretty simple.

I did know that 89 was mechanical. So I guess I'll look for a 90-92.

One more question... Do you know if they are different between diesels and gassers?

I'm going to try and get to the salvage yard on Saturday, just trying to figure out for sure what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the help.

it is the same gas or diesel i looked at mine and at my gas truck one day side by side i believe the wiring harness was different under the hood but it was the same under the dash I have striped a few for the hardness..... engineers like to keep things constant Chrysler bean counters liked to keep it the same to because of the economy of scale eh
