Buying a Cluster question?
I bought a speedometer cluster for my 04 fx4 off the internet from this salvage yard. and my mom is freaking out saying that they will report it to the state even though i didnt buy it in my state, they dont have my vin and it has the same miles as my old one did. All they have is my credit card number. They didnt say anything about reporting it or anything. Is she over reacting, i mean people by s*** from salvage yards all the time.

I had the original instrument cluster replaced in my '04 STX with an FX4 cluster. It is not a plug and play. The management system in your truck must be programed that it has a different cluster installed before everything will work correctly. I bought a new one and had to give them the mileage on my truck so that the new cluster could be programed with the correct mileage. It cost me $283.00 with an exchange which inclueds installation and programing. Even if your truck is out of warranty, a Ford dealer will not install a new cluster without the correct mileage. That is unless you know saomeone.

If you're replacing with the same cluster as what you have now, no problem doing it. It will be a plug and play. If you do it thru a dealer, yes, they need vin# and mileage. We call them in to R.T. Grimm and they program a rebuilt unit with the correct mileage and other info they get from your vin#. Takes 2 days to get unless they're backordered. They do most of the american cars and trucks.
