New gauges installed
Well I finally got around to installing my new gauges. Took a while to figure out how to re-pin my plugs to work properly with the automatic cluster. Once i figured it out though it was pretty simple. All in all only 3 pins needed to be moved, and everything seems to function properly. The fuel gauge gave me the most trouble. It kept reading beyond full because I had originally only moved one of the pins instead of 2. I am including a diagram showing which pins I moved so that anyone else looking to swap a gauge cluster from an auto into a manual has something to reference. I'm not sure if this will work on all vehicles but its somewhere to start. Other than those 3 pins nothing needed to be moved or changed, except for adding a wire for the tach since my truck did not have one in the plugs. I attached a picture showing where I attached the lead for the tach on both the coil and cluster ends. The gauges I used were from a 1987 Pickup with EFI and an automatic, so this may be slightly different for a 4 runner. Hope this is helpful.
