[QUOTE="Dane, post: 1342379, member: 2494"] Noooooooope, see the two little screws right above the cluster? Take those out, take out that trim and you'll see more available screws. Unbolt those, pull it out cluster, disconnect harness. Then you'll have to separate the plastic, but it's obvious. It was a very nice surprise that it comes out so easily. Definitely no disassembling the dashing as I was worried about. Word of caution. Everything is fragile. Be careful and wear nitrile gloves to prevent fingerprints. I can't speak to the longevity of this fix, but it was this or repair/replace stuff - which seems crazy for the given issue. I'd recommend having the digital tach display up while you are doing this, since the digital tach isn't off and lets you see your target. Perform at your own risk! This was while the truck was running and tach was active! I'm sure it isn't advisable! Example. RPM is 1,500 low. Rev digital tach to 1,500. Analog tach is at about 0. Physically move the needle to 1,500. Or use whatever numbers you need and works for you, idle, whatever. No magic. It scares me, but it worked. [/QUOTE]
