I had some really cool color layouts of my gauge cluster wiring. I have a 87 ranger that did not have a tach from the factory. I had a cluster that I modified and added a factory tach cluster on another truck. Now because of friggen photobucket they are now junk!!!:pissedoff: The wiring diagrams the I have found including my repair manuals dont have a understandable diagram of the gauge cluster wiring.

I sent Shran a PM asking if he could rehost his pics, keep an eye on it. I am working on updating my pics which won't pertain to the actual swap a whole lot. Stupid easy to do though, it was only a few wires that needed moved around and then the tach wire added.

Thanks for fixing this. I am banging my head against the wall n this one. Its a simple swap and I have done it before but I am having issues with this one. I have two tachs from two clusters and I think one of them is faulty. I tested them on the battery, Hook up the battery and the signal wire and it works.

I understand your frustration with Photobucket & how they have altered their web hosting parameters.....myself as well along with a few other million or so free users.

Do you NOT have the original pics on your hard drive to source & upload elsewhere?

This.
If the photobucket account is yours and your pics are blocked, go to PB directly and look at your saved pics.

If the pic is on someone else PB account you might be able to see the pics by going directly to PB and search his name. If he used the same name and has the account as "public" you can see his pics.

My issue is that I live in Rural Nevada and I rely on sites like this one for all my info. So many sites and pages are trash now because of photobucket. Thay could have done this a better way.

That's one thing tap talk is good for. Most pictures are straight off your phone. I have never stored pictures on the cloud. I have a 3tb external drive for that.
