Instrument cluster replacement

Citcope · Apr 18, 2017

I'm not sure if this has been on here before or not but I bought a 16' 2500 that was Canadian and the car dealer here in Ohio bought it and switched the speedo to read MPH but there is a slight difference from the computer speedo to the analog speedo. On the computer when going 70mph the analog speedo says 67mph. Is there a way to fix this or is there a way to replace it with an American cluster. I have read that if you replace the cluster what ever mileage is on the new one, gets wiped and is set on what ever the replacement one has. I would think with all the computers now days that the dealership could just program the new one to the correct mileage. thanks

Hi Casey,

Have you contacted/visited your local dealership to see if they could offer further assistance?

Andrea,
That was going to be my next step. After further searching I did end up finding a thread that someone posted concerning buying a new cluster. He had the dealer contact a business, gov't oversight involved, who programs the cluster with the VIN and actual mileage. It would be illegal for the dealer to do it. But I will ch k with my local dealer to see if that info is accurate.
