You will have to replace several items costing as much as a grand depending on if you can find them used or not. Even the fuel senders are different between them. I would sit tight for a month or so and watch eBay for a good used unit or just have Casper's Electronics repair it. I will also mention there are other digital dashes out there like the one from Dakota but it's not plug n play installation.

That is the real answer.

It is not really all that expensive.

Yeah that flashing 85 is really annoying. My old 84 GN had it and T-tops. I can't stand either one now!
