Using a C6 cluster in swap projects? Eventually putting an LS3/L92 motor in my mustang. I currently have a full autometer setup. The easy way would be re-use these gauges, but thats too easy! I want a more modern gauge set. Providing that i make a custom bezel and mounting setup for the cluster to fit in the dash, is there a known way to wire up the cluster?
My guess is you hook it up to the class 2 data line and it lights up like a xmas tree and flashes a million messages for all the modules that arent connected via the DIC.
I think I already know my answer, that this setup isn't feasible. If so, I may bite the bullet and go with the autometer nexus gauges. I guess I wont know the answer until the question is asked...

anything is possible, depending on skill and how much effort youre willing to put in. Biggest deal breaker for me was, you'd have to run two sending units like a vette for the fuel level gauge to work.
cluster Check kwizz'es build thread for the 36 Ford he did, he used a GTO cluster and made most if not all of it work with help from John at Speartech. H may have had issues with the ABS or traction control warnings, been awhile since the did the build, but it was interesting and answered a lot of questions..

I've got the GTO module working in the 37........everything works as factory.....the only issue is the ABS fault that comes up.......Still haven't resolved that issue (Don't even notice it anymore....LOL)........Even the rest reminder comes on after two hours....LOL

Bringing an old thread back to life. Really like that C6 cluster, and just bought one to attempt to figure this out, but thought I would see if there was anyone out there that could short cut this for me.
Anyone pulled this off successfully and willing to give some tips on how best to go about this?
