Digital Dash

I don't know about a Gen II digidash, but I know that in my old Buick Regal, the digital readout went to 199 MPH.

Later Gen 2 models could read upto 199, but I don't think it will since you won't go that high. Earlier Gen 2 digiclusters quit at 99 I think. It is possible to convert the clusters, but you'll need a different VSS and more wiring and the cluster. There's an article on the archives where someone converted their Gen 1 SHO cluster to a Gen 2 Sable cluster.

I just want a digital dash from a gen2. And as far as I know it has a tach which i desperately need. Also who has one of these could I get a pic or two and how much do they cost at a junkyard?

If you want a tach, why don't you just get an analog Sable or SHO cluster? Also, some higher-end Taurus (SE/LX) might have the Sable's cluster. They've got a tach and the SHO's speedo goes upto 140 MPH.

I love digital stuff because everything else will be digital and I dont want to have like an odd end to it.

I,ve seen a post in the old old forums on this topic but I don't remember anything about it. I don't know If there is way to still get to them so I guess this is not much help.

My old Gen II Sable went up to 199 MPH/KmPH

I miss that dash, it was so cool. Told you WAY more info that any dash since, including the 04's with that 1/2 a** message center. And you could turn the TACH on and off, how cool was that!!

Glad my Grand Marquis has a Digital Cluster.

Oh Yea, as for the upgrade, Find a Gen II Sable LS with one, that would probably be easier than a retrofit since it would be a royal pain in the a** to install one.

Found it. Analog to Digital caonversion in a late G1 SHO. Late G1s have basically the same stuff behind the dash as a G2.

Go get some of the reverse glow gauges in mph, bingo problem solved.

I have also put a digital dash in my Gen II SHO. The conversion is not that hard. Everything works correctly: tach, speedo, trip computer, fuel economy, etc. You don't need a new VSS. Straight from the Ford Service manual: The digital speedometer will read to 120mph (193k/ph). See the above link for more info about the conversion. Since he did his in a Gen I and I did a Gen II swap, the info is basically the same. I'm still looking for a Taurus dash bezel though from a digital dash car, because right now I have no where to mount the four-button controller for the dash.
