Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 1997 6BT-Dakota Gauge Help please ? ?

[6BT-Dakota]

Im in the process of building a 1997 Dodge Dakota with a 1994 6BT Cummins Turbo Diesel Engine. The question that I have is this. The interior Gauge cluster of my Dakota is the same style as the 98-02 Ram Gauges. The engine I am using is a 94 12v. Does anyone know if a 98 12 valve cluster is compatable with a 94 12 valve and does anyone have one for sale from a 98 12 valve automatic. If anyone has a picture of the back of it or if anyone could take a picture of theirs and send to me it would be greatly appriciated.

It should be OK the early 98 12 valves had the new instrument panel (gauges).

What you need is a wiring diagram from 94 Ram and a wiring diagram from 97 Dakota. You mite need 98 Ram PCM to make wiring work. Then you would need to look at a 98 Ram wiring diagram.
