Premium guages

chrisc60 said:

I would like to get feedback from anyone who has upgraded their guages from the low end console to the premium one with the VIC, etc.. Love to know how they found a set, and approximate price I would be faced with, plus installation costs. Thanks
Chris

Your profile says you have a 96... but I'm going to guess since you posted this in the 4th gen section that you got a new truck and have yet to update your profile.

If that's the case, the "premium 7" EVIC's" are only able to be swapped into 13+ rams. For the 09-12 there is an "upgraded" EVIC but it is just a small screen with some info. The really nice "premium" one is, like i said, for the 13+ rams.

Most people find theirs on either eBay, Craigslist or the For Sale section of these forums.

Thanks for the info- yes, traded it for a 2012, and need to update my profile. The guages that it came with only have a small (maybe 1x2 inch) led that gives me temp, 2 trip meters, total mileage and a prompt to change the oil. A small led shows doors open. If I have no other options, that's fine, I just thought it warranted asking. If there is an option for slightly upgraded ones, I'll look into it.. Thanks for the info.

Plenty of the 12 clusters on ebay, for around 100.00 to 200.00 give or take. The evic switch will run around 40.00. FYI The newer 2013 and evic switches will work). If you get one with more mileage than you have you could just wait it out till they match. Or you could just send it out TV nav to go did my buddies 12 for 100.00. Other than that it is PNP. My buddy was thrilled with the upgrade and then he upgrade head unit to oem nav also pnp allowing camera add on.

Here is a place I've used before. Turn-around time was pretty decent. Also, when you go that route you want to take and keep multiple pictures showing mileage on the old cluster and the mileage on the new cluster when you put it in. If possible take the pictures with something that shows the date such as the newspaper or maybe even your phone. Just a CYA kinda thing for down the road when you sell or trade and need to sign that nice little piece of paper that says the miles are accurate and not tampered with....

I have a 2012. You'll need to swap the left side steeering wheel buttons that say "step" and "reset" for the ones with up,down, left and right arrows to work the EVIC. Then swap cluster.

Yea I have the "upgraded EVIC" in my 2012. It has some features and allows you to change a bunch of cool settings with door locks and headlights.

Here's a pic of it.

I'd like to ask you; is the new switch plug and play just like the cluster? Thanks, chris
