i want to swap clusters with tach on it, what vehicles would fit on my ford ranger 1997 2wd 3.0 v6 that is plug and play, no altering needed?

I believe anything from 1997-2003

It may go back to 1994

I think he's right. The "how to" sticky might confirm this. If not, there are a few threads about it if you want to run a search. If nothing else, the "how to" thread will tell you how to swap your odometer.
