    What years are they each from? I assume similar years or you'd have to rewire everything...or did you?

    Also, explain more. where should they be in each pic, what have you done exactly to troubleshoot?

    Do you mean the truck in fact has 1/4 tank so the top cluster is accurate but the bottom cluster reads below empty? possibly a bad cluster...

    temp gauges are notoriously bad on these trucks. how do you figure it's reading wrong?

    out of curiosity, why are you changing from the SR5 cluster to the base cluster? odometer fraud?

    I believe the bottom is from a 90-95 the top came with the truck
    It's cable driven and I don't c any cable behind the dash to any sign
    Of cable coming out the engine bay....didn't re wire anything just plugged it in

    Haven't done anything to trouble shoot it but the bottom cluster lights works hand brake signal brights etc it's just the gas and temp gauge

    Yes the tank had 1/4 gas and the top cluster is accurate
    And the bottom read empty...

    I figured it was reading wrong bcuz I keep switching gauges back and forth lol

    I'm just changing it bcuz of the look
