Remember these are old rigs. Most were designed for no ethanol gas. The new gas is real hard on the old gas lines. It maybe time for you to replace all your rubber fuel lines. They may be hard cracked and ready split. Gas on hot exhaust = fire.

Got my new gage cluster in. I went from the stock cluster of 3 gages 1991 to a 6 gage cluster of a 1996.this mew cluster came from a 1996 T100 that had an Auto tranny and cable drive speedo. It was a simple plug and play. The oil pressure gage did need to have the correct sending unit put on. I even rolled back the odometer to match the old gage as my rig has only 48,000 miles on it. I was a truck driver for 40yrs and have been use to lots of gages. I have a tough time driving with ought a tack. This conversion also put the gages right where they should be. I plan on adding 2 more gages, a outside temp. gage and a tranny. temp. gage. They will go in a pillar post pod. I did ad the factory clock from a pickup just for fun. The CD player for my wife, she like the books on tape . Even thought we have had this rig only a few mounts we love it. Love the millage so far. 17.89 mpg going from Central Or. to the Coast and back. Paul

I found my gage cluster and sending unit on Craigs list. I think I gave $ 135.00 for them both. I know you need the correct sending unit for your gage . So I asked the seller if he had the sending unit and he did, so I negotiated a price for the pair. You do have to make sure you get one with a cable drive for the speedo because some have electronic drives . There are also videos on line that show how to reset the odometer and I did that. Works good so far!!
