Congrats! You'll enjoy them, they kinda make your interior feel new again. A little bright at night with the dimmer all the way up...had to tone it down a notch in the country when driving in the dark. Driving in town isn't too bad though when there's other lights to balance it out a bit lol

 

If you can change your circuit board over to this Autometer without any problems with your odometer, is it feasible that you could switch a circuit board from an XL to an OEM cluster that has a tachometer on it? And it actually work?

 

That's possible. However, if your truck has PATS, you need to visit dealer to get your cluster matched with ECM. Also, the odometer display does not show correct mileage (some dealers might have equipment to do this).

I ordered refurb L cluster from Tousley Ford (with correct mileage) and had local dealer to program it.

Thanks, It should be at my house already! As soon as I'm home in the US next month I'm putting it in!!

 

looks good!

 

Looks good, not too far from the odometer color.

 

That may be a good thing. I know a few females who drive Chevy's and they call me every time the oil pressure and coolant temp needle moves up or down

 

I want one with a 200mph speedometer! looks good

 

I put mine in a couple of months ago and it looks and works great. The gauges, speedometer and tach actually do work better than the stock gauges. Though like everyone else I am a little bummed about the gauges not having numbers. Including the last statement I have several of pet peeves:

1. I wish the shift indicator would have stayed black with white characters, and no you cannot swap in the stock indicator without significant modification to the cluster. It fits but you cannot get any lighting to it for visibility at nighttime.

2. The lunar illumination is very bright and when you tone it down to a bearable point, all the rest of your illumination (AC/Heat, Overhead Console, Door and Steering wheel lights) are really too dim to do you any good.

3. Some of the warning indicators seem dimmer than the stock cluster, but they may just need new bulbs.

4. The Cruise control indicator is no longer a symbol, just a round dot and when it is on at might the yellow light bleeds into the water temp gauge.

I sent Autometer an email on their website asking if they know of a way to tone down the brightness of the cluster so it more closely matches the rest of the truck's illumination, so far no answer.

 

looks great!

 

Finally put mine in, I agree with BlackFerret, the lighting is really bright at night.....but I like it way better than my stock looking cluster

 

For the L cluster, can't you just swap the odometer chip out with whats on the original cluster to get the correct mileage?

I like the lunar odometer, just I'd want my lightning to be red.

 

Dinggus, do you actually know which chip is the odometer? How would you swap that out?!

 

I have this gauge, my tack has been broken for a long time. It does look good thinking about getting another one so the tach works again. Put my old one back in to make sure and it is the Autometer gauges that is broke. Other problem is that Autometer stopped making Lunar series gauges so you cannot find other gauges that are an exact match. The NV series is close but not exact.

 

I had the same one in my truck. Looks good but my oil pressure stopped working. Ended up putting the stock one back in.
