I realize the tachometer range is different from gas vs diesel but would like to know if a person put a gas cluster in the diesel truck would the RPM read accurately or would the needle point where it would normally point on a diesel?

So say 3k physical position on the tach of a diesel cluster points to 6k on the gas would it point at the 6k when installed on a diesel?

The reason I'm asking is I am thinking about customizing a cluster and can get a premium gas one for a fair price and as we know the diesel ones go for about double......

If I can swap gauge faces / face bezel then I'll order the gas one as long as the needle would be pointing at the correct position.

Thanks in advance!

You will be missing the DEF gauge, grid heater icon, boost gauge, exhaust brake stuff, and probably other stuff. etc. Better off getting the correct diesel gauge in my opinion

Is a 3.0 Diesel cluster the same as the 2500 Diesel cluster. Saw a 2018 3.0 cluster cheap on car parts for $125.00

I know how you tell the difference between the EcoD and CTD EVICs is the redline marking, EcoD = 4500, CTD = 3500
I thought I remember reading someone using an EcoD EVIC in a CTD.
