i want to get the, MPG and all those other things that are in the center of the cluster on some cars. There is a 5000 at my local yard with one and the gauges would work too, 6400 red line and reads to 160 mph.

1. Would it even work?
2. Can i just swap out either the gauges or the little screan?
3. Is it too much of a hastle and just forget it?

Tanx...André

I doubt that anyone would know the answer.........I suggest studying up on the 88 5K system. Use a Bentley car book to do that. Learn where the sensors are located for the mpg cluster, then see if adaptable to your 95 90. I doubt that a wrecking yard would charge you much. I bought 5K instrument clusters for $20., and that was 10 years ago. If you really want to try this swap, I would suggest removing the instrument cluster and all its components yourself from the wrecking yard, then you will know where and how to reinstall on your car.
Good luck..........Rooster
