Instrument Cluster Swap Questions

[mrpickle87]

So I've recently cam swapped my 2001 Silverado along with some other supporting mods. It's got a messed up cluster anyways (needs rebuilt) So I'd really like to find a cluster with something like a 6500-7000 rpm tach and say 120-160 mph speedo bonus I'd it has trans temp. So is there any bolt in gauge swaps that can be done. Cam makes power past 6k and have the rev limiter set to 6700 with a 6500 rpm WOT shift point.

It will need to be a custom dash or a screen from Holley or someone like that.

There is no stock cluster that offers that high of a speedo reading or redline for 1999-2002 trucks. You can get a transmission temp with a 2500/3500 cluster though and possibly a Denali cluster from 2001-2002.

ok by any chance you know of someone that makes them the holley stuff would require the whole ecm and everything.

Holley makes just the dash but it's very expensive. Like $1,200 for the small screen and $2200 for the big one. It's basically highway robbery for just a screen that doesn't even do any tuning but my opinion.

 

I don't know anyone that makes them. Dakota Digital only makes the cluster through 1998 and 1999 classic models. Nothing for the 99-02 body style. But they do sell all the gauges and you could custom make yourself a cluster if you wanted to.

Have a shop fab you up a piece that fits of your design and put your own gauges in. I used my old cluster but just swapped out all the gauges and added 3 that it didn't have originally (oil temp., tranny temp, fuel pressure) originally, works great, looks even better, and I have all the information I need now.
