The ‘16 Dodge i bought, the analog speedo on the right, not digital display in the center, is kilometers. It’s not a huge deal but can you easily order/replace that bezel/gauge to make the mph the dominant numbers??

Just out of curiosity did you go to Canada and buy this truck, or did you buy it from a dealer here who didn't convert things over for U.S. use?

Also, you've posted this in the 5th gen area of the site (2019+), you'd probably get more answers if you posted in the 4th generation section.

Welcome to the site.

I am making a wild guess
Have you looked into your radios menu
There may be a way to switch it to miles per hour

That only changes the digital readout, not the analog gauges.

The op will probably have to swap the entire cluster and use AlfaOBD to adjust the mileage/engine hours. It might be more work to try pulling a cluster apart to change just the face.

Yep I believe that might be the first one I've seen come down and not be converted, not to say that it hasn't happened before. I don't know if that is by requirement, or something done to try to cover up where the truck came from (some dealers seem to get all their used FCA vehicles from Canada and in this case usually voids any remaining warranty on the truck, but they don't want to tell you that).

Yeah i was outside if any remaining warranty. I did purchase an extended though. It’s immaculate at 64k miles. But ya never know. Added a 3/45000 to it. Gauge isn’t a deal breaker to me. But if it’s an easy swap I’d prob do it

It's very simple to swap back and forth, on of the easier mods to do.

Look in the 4th gen DIY thread for gauge swap info, but basically any one from a gas 2015 or newer 4th gen will work. There is a tool called AlphaODB you can use to set the mileage, and a member in your area may have it and be willing to help out. There are many places in the US you can mail it in to get mileage set for a reasonable fee.
