I was wondering if someone would buy another instrument cluster from a lower mileage truck, does the cluster automatically update it to your actual mileage? Or will the replacement cluster mileage stay. Just wondering because, I am still getting VHRs ( Uconnect access ended 3 months ago ) from FCA, and it knows the mileage on the truck.
I have no plans on trying to do this, but let's say, you don't have a warranty anymore and your dash cluster goes belly up, you replace it with a used one, how does the mileage thing work?

The mileage is usually stored on a chip on the circuit board. I've heard of some folks swapping chips if they are handy with a soldering iron and can identify which chip contains the mileage. I swapped the cluster in a car once, and was able to swap the entire circuit board. Of course that won't work if the old circuit board is fried.

There is a company out there that will verify and give you a clean bill of health while changing the mileage. try and Google it about years ago or so there was only one reputable company.
