He canceled my order. Dodged a bullet. He said paint on the back of the cluster caused the gauge issue. But im not taking chances. He was a stand up guy and refunded it so I dont have any complaints. Thanks again



I'd call bs on the paint on the back of the cluster but I'm sure itll be listed right back on eBay. He'll shaft someone with it eventually

I hope you two are reporting this obvious crap to eBay and car-parts.com that he is trying to re-sell the known defective cluster as fully functional.

Too bad your cluster are in mph, here our local junkyards are selling them for 90$ and had a bunch of them. I got mine there 2 year ago, and with a 80$ RA3 :roflsquared: But for the ra3 they rise up the price a little bit when they found they can sell them, they are now about 150-180$

They look very high priced in the us .

The 7" KPH clusters are no longer $90. Most of the salvage yards have caught on to the demand of these and are now selling anywhere from $175 - 300 CDN. Still many more available than what you USA guys seem to have access to, and at a lower price.

The thing that sucks for us Canucks is the odometer correction services in Canada want $350-400$ + shipping costs to reprogram, so best to find one close to your current mileage.

I bought one, just not sure I can wait for 1 year before installing:)

I'm not understanding the problem with matching odometer mileage. Is it not possible to replace my truck's instrument cluster (with say 22000 miles on its odometer) with a salvaged upgrade instrument cluster that has say 33000 miles on it? I understand there may be a lawful requirement here, but is there a plug and play issue?

It will work fine if you don't have it corrected. Mine is off around a hundred miles or so and for that little difference I didn't think it was worth it to send the cluster out. When I sell my truck eventually, I will send my base cluster in to be corrected and sell this premium cluster.

FYI, mileage is also stored in the PCM so a dealer can compare the two numbers if for some reason they feel the need to. I believe that some guys have had issues with that when they swap PCMs for tuning and dealers seeing the mileage difference.

Does it matter if I acquire a premium instrument cluster out of a 4x4 for use in my 4x2?
Are there any other considerations I should be alert for as I press on to find a premium cluster?
Thanks in advance - I am in uncharted waters here.

4x4 vs 4x2 doesn't matter. Just don't get a diesel cluster since it has a def gauge. I am also not sure what years are compatible with your TPMS. My truck is a 2016 and I believe the cluster I installed came out of a 2015 or maybe a 2014.
