    Just got a SR5 speedo cluster out of a 5spd 4X4. Will it be plug and play other than changing the oil pressure sending unit.

    I think that it should be. You may have to run a tach wire if the truck was not pre wired for one. Make the connections and test it before you bolt the new cluster in to make sure that all the gauges work. I have an extra cluster that didn't work right ( temp gauge would swing and fuel would not read) but I used another and all was good except for the tach wire. easy swap just watch the lack of speedometer cable slack. If you remove the cable from the firewall bracket under the hood you can get a bit more slack.

    For anyone else doing this swap make sure u install a oil pressure sending unit from an sr5, or you can fry the guage in the sr5 cluster
