After reading multiple threads on here, I decided to swap in a cluster with a tach since my 95 2.3 5-speed didn't come with one. Found a nice on from a 2000 explorer. Direct swap and everything works great.....EXCEPT the tach and the temp gauge. The tach does NOT read correctly even though multiple threads here say it gets it signal from the ecu and doesn't matter what engine it came from. Must've been a v8 explorer because the tach reads about half of what it should. Can only get it up to 3k at highest. Sucks because I can't return the cluster as I disassembled it to adjust the odometer to my current mileage. Any ideas??
Now the temp gauge I expected. However, the advice here stated to get a new sender from the year the cluster came from. Only problem is I don't think a 2000 has the one wire sensor on the block. Just the two wire on the t-stat housing. Doesn't the one wire on the block control the gauge? I can't locate a one wire sensor for a 2000. I know I can swap my original gauge on this but need to figure out tach first
