How To: 13-14 premium cluster upgrade

[field8585]

I had that issue here in BC Canada, wherein we can do the same paperwork. The problem here was that a Dodge Dealer has to sign the form to confirm what both old and new clusters read. They told me they would not do it unless they carried out the swap (and we all know it takes all of 15 minutes to R/R the clusters) at a cost of approx $400. That and I would have to change my cluster background as it has a Laramie Longhorn symbol and my truck is an Express. Also my warranty would be void on any items that interface with the cluster. Hmmmm. There is very little difference in my odometer readings (less than 200 KM) so I am going to live with it. My plan.....when I sell or upgrade, send out the old unit to be updated for around $200 then sell the cluster I had to cover that cost. I am not about to be held hostage "again" by a stealership.

Just sent my cluster out to a company in the US, they are charging $89 to change mileage, Idle and Drive hours. It will cost me $100 for shipping but still better than the 3 quotes I have gotten from within Canada ($350..$425.. and $475 plus shipping for all). I will post the name of the company once I receive my unit back in working order and can confirm. Told them they may have a large number to do hoping to get a discount later, LOL.

Intersted is hearing your results!

the tool said it can read and program the data on the eprom and the eprom in the cluster was on the list of chips it can do. I have seen videos of people using the same tool to do other clusters but nothing this new. If it does not work I am not out much

Very interested in hearing your result and learning the name as well as other details.

Is it possible that when we do both upgrade ( cluster and 8.4 radio ) that the cluster lose the compass and temp fonction ?

I mean the cluster still have both, but when I try to change the compass or outside temp in the cluster it disappear from the list. I must cancel the change or I will lose those fonction ( i did it for the compass and cannot chose it again.)

Mine are showing up just fine and I can move them around to one of the four positions in the cluster.

I changed my cluster the other night and all is well with compass and temp, my 8.4NA is being delivered today and I plan on putting it in this weekend, I will check and see if the compass or temp functions change and report back.
