How To: 13-14 premium cluster upgrade

[CodyTacy]

2014 Ram with the base cluster. I got a 2014 premium cluster and switched them. For some reason the big screen on the new cluster is white. All the manual gauges work. Is the cluster bad?

Sounds like it. Can you post a picture? Does anything on the screen change?

Never seen that before. I'd definitely be looking for a refund.

Open your search to EcoDiesels if you don't mind the higher redline on the tach (which is hard to see anyway).

So ordering one new from an online store or dealer I understand that it should just plug right up and has the ability to be programmed with the Alphaobd. I have an 18 1500 express. so the part number that moparonlineparts.com is saying is 68340654AB. this should all be plug and play and program the mileage and engine hrs correct?

Yes but I'm not a 100 percent sure you can order a new one. And if a dealer is willing they'd want to send it out to have it programmed and you'd have to leave your truck there until it installed

Plug n play, yes. AlfaOBD programming, hit or miss, but usually works. You won’t be able to order a brand new one from a mopar parts supplier, though. It’ll show in stock. It’ll let you add it to the cart and pay for it. But, a few days later, you’ll get an email canceling the order.

Same thing. Except the ones on eBay are more expensive.

mx plus with alpha

mx plus with alpha

Darn, my suggestion was going to be to use an MX Plus! I couldn't get mileage to change either until I bought the MX Plus.

Next suggestion (if you haven't already tried) is try both "clicks" of the key when it tells you to turn to off then on and wait for the startup sequence to complete.

I found turning it on to only 1 "click" of the "key" allowed it to work (even though it gave a failed message in AlfaOBD it took in the cluster).

Try updating mx with the supplied app, delete and reinstall alphaobd.
