I am looking at buying a 2013 Ram crew cab express package with the Hemi with under 17,000 miles on it. I has the 3.5 inch cluster and the base radio. I am thinking of eventually replacing the cluster to the 7 inch screen since it looks so much better and the radio to the 5.0 for bluetooth. I know these are both plug and play swaps but is there anything about the way the originals worked together that would make the swap not a good idea to do one at a time? Would any of the 2013, 2014 and 2015 clusters and 5.0 radios work? It wont be easy to find the premium cluster for a 2013 with that low miles.

Thanks

No you can swap them in what ever order you want. It makes no difference.

Thanks.

Will the premium cluster from 2013, 2014, and 2015 fit ?

Also, will the 5.0 radios from 2013, 2014, and 2015 fit also?

The mileage shouldn't be an issue. I swapped my cluster for the upgraded one and sent it off to TVandNAV2GO(I think that's the right name) and had Dominic reprogram it for my mileage. The turnaround time was fast and it was a good price as well.

TVandNAV2GO...great guy to work with and the best price for the correction service for mileage and engine hours.
