Yeah, fixin up a Ranger will usually cause the ye ole cash pile to go pretty low.
So, Are you going to build a factory 2004 + cluster or are you going to build a cluster with custom gauges?
I hope you're going to keep build a 2004 + factory cluster and let everyone know how you did it. That has kept all of the 2004 + Ranger owners from doin a V8 swap.

I'm no electrical engineer, and one of them might have problems with that. All new and non-ford, sorry.

That's ok ... I didn't think you would be able to keep your 2004 gauge cluster. I wish someone or some company would figure out how to let us 2004 + owners keep out OEM cluster.

Good Luck with the build

Thanks. It's that Damn (PATS). Messes everything up.
