I'm looking for a 2nd or 3rd gen instrument cluster with Tach for a 96 with a 5sp 2wd. Mileage doesn't matter, I just need one that all the gauges work. Mine quit a few weeks back and I can deal with no speedo, oil press and temp, but the non working fuel gauge is driving me crazy. I use an app for speed and can guess the temp and oil press by other means.
 
2nd gen won't work, you need a 95-? cluster, I am thinking up to 97 should be fine but I don't know about past that although they look similar.

I have one that I can pull out of a '95 but it does not have a tach - it's from an XL 4 cylinder truck. IIRC the fuel gauge worked fine. The oil pressure gauge always read close to zero and the battery light was always on but I think that may have been other issues with the truck and not the gauge cluster.
 
95-97 are direct swaps, 98-03(?) will work, but a few idiot light wires need re-pinned for CEL, Door Ajar, and one other....also the temp gauge wont read correctly (it will read hot when using a new cluster on an older truck)
 
I one from a 96, $100 shipped
 
I can grab one this evening. Its still in a parts truck.
