Experience Cluster Swappers, HELP Needed!
I installed a used XLT cluster in the 05 XL the other day. I made an appointment with the dealer and took it in to have it programmed. I got there and they didn't know how to do it. I came back to a source more reliable than the dealer, F150online.com. Soliciting some help from Quintin, he sent an awesome response with the exact "built as" data for my truck. Here is a copy of the post he responded to me with after he PMed the "built as" data:
Anyone out there who has done this mod that can help with this info?
Thanks again Quintin and anyone else who can help!
PM'ed you back.
Maybe other folks on here that swapped clusters can tell me - when programmed, did the dealers use as built information from your truck, or did they have to trick the scan tool and truck by using as built information from a truck with the same trim that the new cluster came out of? I.E., an XLT cluster in an XL, instead of using the XL's as built info, they had to get as built from an XLT?

As Built Data
When I installed a Lariat cluster in my XLT, the service dept.
used "As Built Data" for my truck to program the Lariat cluster.
I watched the tech. input the "As Built" codes from a readout
that he had printed. After inputing the codes, the WDS tool
said "Module Programming Sucessuful".
