    77 instrument cluster

    hey guys
    can anyone tell me where i can find an instrument cluster for a 1977 dodge 3/4 ton 4x4 as i have an electrical problem that i believe goes right to the back of my instrument cluster. loose stud on back of alternator guage which causes intermitent stalling and loss of all power. i dont think it can be fixed without replacing whole dang panel! i believe 75-78 or so interchanges but could be wrong on that. appreciate any help
    thank you

    alt guage bypass?

    are you aware of the alt guage bypass? common failure point and potentially hazzardous Mopar design flaw. I'm guessing you dont need a complete cluster.

      alt guage bypass

      no sir i am not aware of the alt guage bypass but i sure would like to know about it if possible as it would probably solve my problem.

      thank you for the help

        Easiest/quickest method is to put both wires onto the same post (on back of ammeter). Ammeter will no longer work, but current flow will be uninterupted.

          madelectrical has detailed info

          www.madelectrical.com
          electrical tech- then go to -"bypassing and eliminating factory full flow alt.
          fascinating reading, bet ya you get stuck poking around learning more than you expected.
          If you're in a hurry to get truck up and running, Bucky's advice summed it up nicely.
          welcome to the PWA forums.

            first of all thank you guys for the info as i would probably have better luck finding a needle in a haystack than finding the instrument cluster so this should help me out a great deal although i am not too fond of not knowing my battery status. on the other hand i do want to get my truck to stay running like it should. i will check out the link you all sent me and yes it was interesting behind the instrument cluster.

            thanks again and its cool to be able to go to this forum and interact with other powerwagoners.

            thanks

                ive found the best way to gauge your battery status when the cluster isnt showing you is: Does the truck start? yes? your battery works =P
