Great, another guy going 70 KPH on the highway thinking he is going 70MPH. We have a bunch of those here in Florida in the winter.
Or you could be a grown ass man and figure it out yourself lol. Of course it is double marked, not that anyone else can see it now because you ******* out and changed the picture LMAO. Regardless, at your age you should have a) much thicker skin and b) a sense of humor. I'm also not the one who posted a metric cluster. I knew exactly what you were asking, however you need to work on your communication skills, because as taken literally; you wanted to install a metric cluster. Also no advice was given, you need to work on your sarcasm skills to LMAO. Now that we have your butthurt out of the way.....You missed my entire point . I want to know if the standard can be replace with the premium with all the gauges . Not that I'm want to change to the metric version .If you notice the metric cluster is also marked in MPH . But thank you for your sound advice
I ask an honest question . A smartass response was unnecessary . I sincerely apologize for posting a metric cluster . I have the ability to read both Everyone is not a damn expert . That being said looks to be more trouble than it's worth . Thanks for the infoOr you could be a grown ass man and figure it out yourself lol.

As long as it is compatible with your CAN bus it will work, which means at minimum it needs to be a 2008 gas cluster (don't accidentally buy a diesel one) or you need to verify part numbers through 2006 and 2007 to see if they are the same. FYI your mileage will NOT auto-update (this is why dealers will not install used clusters unless they are reconditioned) so you either deal with a mismatch between your PCM and cluster mileage or send it out to get the mileage entered prior to installation. The PIDS are always there, just a matter of whether your cluster is setup to receive certain ones.
Before we drop this topic, just out of curiosity, wouldn't the sending units also have to be installed for the gauges to work? Or are these marvels of industry clever enough to figure it out on their own? They do have their own brain, after all...
The information for those gauges are being sent to the cluster just for whatever reason dodge likes making 2 different versions of clusters. Same with the 4 gens. Swap in a 7" cluster and you have access to more gauges

The PCM uses the same inputs anyway, as I said earlier, the PIDS are all there, you could quite easily hook up something to the OBD port and see the things that there aren't gauges for.Before we drop this topic, just out of curiosity, wouldn't the sending units also have to be installed for the gauges to work?

Like I said, the PIDS are there. Just for fun I ran through the 06-08 parts books to see if the p/n's matched. They don't between the years, however within the same year it's plug and play, other than maybe trying to plug in one from a diesel.That's why I have my doubts they will interchange . Maybe they are already in place and run through the ECM
Correct, it will not auto update. The original mileage will still be kept in the PCM. Once installed the newer cluster will accrue mileage from whatever it was left at.The odometer will need to be adjusted to show the millage from the original cluster , correct ? I know on the 01 Silverado I had it was stored in the ECM and no need to reprogram Thanks
