You gotta buy a cluster from the same year, and if you have a manual, get one from a manual also. and visa versa with an auto. If you mix and match, they will work, but you loose some functionality. i.e the clusters for an auto have the gear indicator (PRND321). I got a cluster with a tach from a '99 s-10(manual) and put it in my '02 sonoma(auto) It works perfect except.
1. The milage is wrong. (this will always happen: It will show the milage from the old truck)
2. I don't have a Gear Indicator (but who cares, as long I know what gear I'm in...)
