I want to use this cluster, will change the speedometer to one with a trip meter and cruise control connection and replace the air gauge with a second volt meter. The military K30 has two batteries for the 24V starting system.
Need to located the correct sending units for the oil and temperature and a copy of the original (C-60 or ?) wiring diagram for this cluster.
Thank You
Joseph
I understand you want to use this cluster, that is what I ment by swapping in this cluster as an entire unit. Does the CUCV has cruise? As I understand, the CUCV'S are a bare minimum type of vehicle and cruise was an option for the public. Do you have an aftermarket cruise control kit on the truck?
Even with a 24 volt starting system, a second volt gauge is not really necessary, as it indicates the output of the alternator, not the voltage at the batteries. The vacuum gauge would be more useful than a secondary volt gauge, in my opinion.
Since both vehicles are diesel engines, if the markings and value ranges are the same or close on each gauge, there may not be a need to change the sender units either. This is because the sender ohm values will be the same or close for each configuration.
I'm using an oil pressure sender from a late 90's truck on my 73 truck which I have an electric oil pressure gauge from a 79 truck, works like it was there factory.
