I have a 98' F-150 ext. cab with a 4.6. I wanted to know if it was possible to swap a 99' to 03' F-150 gauge cluster to my truck. Or even a Lighting gauge clustler. I know the main difference is that the newer clusters have digital mileage read outs and the 97'-98' clusters have analog. Has anyone done this swap before and can it be done? Thanks

 

Im in the same boat... Id like to know too.

 

You think maybe you would have to get the computer and gauge cluster from a 99 and up F-150 just so it would work? I think the lay out just looks better than what we have in our 98' trucks.

 

HI!... I installed a "99" LIGHTNING gauge cluster in my "99" F-150. Bolted right in but had to be pregrammed at the dealer for the GEM module and the PATS system due to the PATS system works through the cluster. I was told any gauge cluster with the digital odometer WILL NOT work in any of the F-150's that came with a analog odometer cluster.

 

Damn. I was afraid you were going to say that. Well I guess I will have to go the glow gauge face route with a bezel. That should sub. the look I was going for. I'm not going to know how fast over a 100mph I'm going after I put in my Lighting motor. Damn. Oh well.

 

HI!... Thats the reason I went with the swap, was to get a 220KPH speedo. Now I wish someone made one that went higher due to my truck hits 205-210 KPH in 3rd gear! LOL! So pegging 220 in O/D is not a problem.

 

Damn Neal! Sounds like you got a beast on your hands. I shouldn't be going over a 100mph all the time , I would just like to know when I did, how much. Theres got to be a way to do it. I will have to brainstorm somemore. So are the clusters total different in the rear? I know you said you swapped your 99' for a 99', but have you ever seen the rear of one with an analog mileage clock?
