Re: Impala -> GTP instrument cluster swap
Its mostly the cop package but there are a couple impalas that have it as well that arent cop cars. My Friends car is an LS Sport Package that came out the year before the impala SS. the '04 SS has the same gauge cluster but I beleive they swap the volt meter for a boost gauge. Which would also be pretty sweet lol

I would love to see the wright up if you do it. Take pictures for those of us who dont read so good... er, well... lol.

What would need to change about the shifter positioning? I know the cop cars have the shifter mounted on the steering column but my friends impala has this gauge cluster with a floor shifter and I beleive the SS has the shifter on the floor as well.

I wasn't talking about the shifter itself, but the display in the gauge cluster. Isn't it digital on there too? Though as I said, it really doesn't make a huge difference, I'm sure you could live without it on the dash as long as you know how to look down. =P
Re: Impala -> GTP instrument cluster swap
Ok I see what your saying. Electrical stuff is really what I know the least about. I dont mind workin on the greasy parts of the car, I just get outside my comfort zone when it comes to electronics lol. It would be pretty awsome to get the digital gear indicator to work and replace the plastic around the actual shifter with the one out of a floor shifted impala. It has no P-R-N-D-3-2-1 written on it and looks way cleaner that way.
Re: Impala -> GTP instrument cluster swap
Yeah I'd do that, get something all smooth and leveled out, getting rid of that little "dip" for the letters and numbers as a whole.
Re: Impala -> GTP instrument cluster swap
We need some Insturment Cluster wiring diagrams for a
97-02 Grand prix
99-04 Monte Carlo
the GP uses 2 big black plugs, while the MC uses a single blue plug. im assuming that the MC gets all the gauge info from one databus wire, while the GP gets each signal from a different wire.
If the MC uses individual wires for speedo/tach/volt/gas/oil temp/oil press, then it shouldnt be too hard to swap in a new cluster.
im assuming the tach signal should be identical, 3.8 motor
speedo sensor / fuel gauge / temp gauge should all hook up the same
Oil pressure may need to have a sensor installed, and re-wired up to the gauge cluster
oil temp should be the same.
If all else fails, you can always make your own cluster. it will at least fit right, and you can use whatever kind of gauges you want.

Re: Impala -> GTP instrument cluster swap
if morad has one, they will get back to you...but this thread is from 2009.
Re: Impala -> GTP instrument cluster swap
Oh OK yeah they pm me back and that said they don't have anymore but he said they will let me know if they ever get em which I doubt
