Can 1995-1997 Gauge Clusters be Reprogrammed V6 vs I4?

I have read that late 1997-2000 clusters with tachometer can be reprogrammed to read properly when swapped between a V6 and I4 truck.

Is the same true for 1995-early 1997 clusters?

 

I doubt it but don't quote me on this. Early gen are cable driven and later are electronic.

 

@mechanicjon Would be the guy to ask, maybe he'll drop in.

 

There is a way to do this my hands on was a engine swap into 87 pick up(22Re) going to a 3.4. I needed to add a resistor

On my 2000 the 3.4 tack signal comes from the igniter the 4 Cylinder comes from The ECM

 

95-97 Tachs I don't and haven't ever reprogrammed. You would need to find a v6 tach.

 

The tach has never been cable driven... *In a Tacoma*

 

Thank you Sir I was not 100% sure.

Thanks for sharing!

 

My truck came with a v6 cluster even though it had a 4cyl motor. I bought one of these that I spliced into the harness to convert the signal so that the tach read correct. Another benefit of it is that you can also correct the speedo for different gearing and/or tire sizes. Control it through your phone.
