Gauge Cluster shipping out to be programmed

[circuitguy]

Shipping it off tomorrow to NavRepair.com for programming. Only $99 bucks cant beat that, talked to David over there. I will post again when it arrives back.

Before and after shots, I cant wait!!

And yes it was hot as hell here today...

One of the mods on my "to do" list. It look great!

You'll love it, one of the best mods I've done to my truck!!!!

Good price, typical charge has been $175 in the past. I think infotainment also charges $99 so I guess the price is coming down, due to competition.

Just got an email from navrepair.com. They got the cluster in around 9am this morning, did the programming and shipped it back to me at 11am. Wow! That was fast! I should have it here by Tuesday next week. Turned out to be $119.00 including priority mail shipping back to me. It shows to be here on Monday. Will post pics once installed.

I took my old cluster out today so to get ready for the new one going in tomorrow. I also removed the steering wheel air bag so I can install the new leather wheel with the cluster. Forget that pry with a screwdriver crap that everyone does go with the correct tool for the job. Cost only $8 and helped me get that airbag off in two minutes

Ok, the leather steering wheel is installed. Feels nice, I miss the leather from my Challenger. Cluster is next, should be here about 12 noon from USPS. I will post pics when the install is completed.

Alright!! All finished! I am going to sleep now, not used to all this work. Here are some pics for you all.

Leather steering wheel, steering wheel audio controls, premium gauge cluster, RA4 radio with navigation, premium ac heat controls, sport center dash bezel. All installed this week.

I could not have done any of this with out the help from Mike G. "M2 MODS" with all the questions and emails we exchanged. Even at 2am when this guy is exhausted driving home form work he still found the time to answer my calls and questions. And of course his custom 7 speed fan harness and cell adapter plug worked perfectly! Also to Don for getting me the Premium Cluster and RA4 Radio for a great price and both arriving in like new condition.

Of course all the unnamed people on the forum that took the time to answer my questions and concerns I also want to say thank you.

Looks like the Carpet and Console are next, will post more soon!

All of the Mopar options I have purchased and the part numbers are listed here.

Don't know if these parts will fit on your 08 but if it looks the same then it should.

For the reprogramming, do you provide mileage and all the various hours, then NOT use the truck until the cluster comes back? Seems like you want the cluster and the computer to agree so the mother company is happy in case of warranty issues. I am a little (a lot) unclear on this.

Dealer replaced mine under warranty and they impounded my truck so mileage wouldn't change


I've been wanting to do this mod since 2012 lol still haven't managed but knowing the cost to get mileage corrected I might have to revisit this

 

[WTM75]

Just sent my off! Should have it back next Friday. Can't wait!

Ok I have a 2012 with the 5.7 what cluster are you all putting in???....I love the look

You provide the actual miles, hours and idle time. I had them put my cluster 25 miles forward to I could still drive the truck around town until the cluster arrived back.

I found it to be the most impressive upgrade I have done on the truck. Get it done, you will enjoy it too.

You want to get a Premium EVIC Gauge Cluster with the 7" display. I recommend finding one from the same year or newer. You can find them on ebay, craigslist and sometimes for sale on this forum.

So without the EVIC how did you get the engine time numbers? I didn't even know it was being tracked

You won’t be able to put the 7” premium cluster these guys are talking about in your truck. They are only compatible with 2013+ rams.

Your right, boy that sucks.
