Gauges

sargie26 · 06-22-2008, 02:05 AM

Does anyone know if the stock gauges from a ls1 camaro fit into a 98 sonoma. Wiring is no problem. can always redo that if need be.

seems pretty tricky im not a fan of the camaro gauges any ways. http://www.blackcatcustom.ca/S10.htm maybe that might help or for a free lil upgrade

not much but i think its kinda cool.

sargie26 · 06-22-2008, 02:40 AM

I'm basically just looking for a speedo that shows 120mph + i've been looking at the 03 tahoes cluster, looks a little more feasible

whats done to your truck.

~~sonomanator~~ · 06-22-2008, 02:43 AM

wow never mind i see why now lol

~~sonomanator~~ · 06-22-2008, 02:47 AM

hey man how does the gauge look in the 4x4 delete panel. i might do it since mine has a small hole in it. what size gauge is it and do you have better picture thanks

sargie26 · 06-22-2008, 02:53 AM

I think it is a 2 5/8 gauge. but I just want to see how fast this 5.3 will go. Hitting a 100 and watching it stop sucks.

Someone else felt the same heres the thread, I don't know if anyone actually finished one.

oldsmobile bravada guages , problem solved

tiresmokinV8 · 06-23-2008, 09:12 AM

The bravada gauge goes to 120mph but the tach is still 6K. It sure would be nice to find a 7k tach and 120mph gauge cluster.

this topic has been beaten to death, pretty much we're stuck with the gauges we got. someone around here though was trying to get the TBSS cluster to work, i dont think that worked out IIRC.

only other option would be completely aftermarket gauges

Thizz_Xtreme · 06-23-2008, 10:13 AM

even if you use the bravda gauge do you have to recalibrate?

Bone_s10 · 06-24-2008, 08:24 AM

i dont think your going to find a factory guage unless it came from a vette or fbody that revs to 7 k ,

to much work to glass in a stock guage , get a autometer set ,

No, most GM gauges use the same pulse rate for the speedometer.
The only issue you might run in to is if you switch the cluster from another platform is to get the class 2 data buss to send the correct info

Nice to know. . . Thanks

i dont think you can just put in a camaro/trans am guages into a s10 cluster. the clusters are way to integrated to try to swap a speedo or tach. you can try it. $50 if you want a cluster froma F-body, i've got about 6-7 of them

sargie26 · 06-29-2008, 03:37 AM

andrew. where do you live. how much is the shipping. blah blah blah. but that is what I wanna do. swap the entire cluster.
