Awhile back (like 150,000km ago) I replaced my boring base SXT gauge cluster with the upgraded LCD cluster out of my friend's totalled Power Wagon. Everything works great, except my odometer read what his was last at when I installed it and is now consequently 26,000km short of what it really is.
While it's not a big deal and I just remember to add 26k when I'm checking if I'm due for maintenance, I'm wondering if there's a way to fix this?
My truck is a 2015 1500, truck it came out of was a 2014 2500.93c318d7fa65e9ea051083e081d8112a.jpg

Dealers won't reprogram clusters. Only time they do is if it's a warranty replacement. But even then they send it out to a 3rd party. Infotainment can program them but they charge about $150

This is the best information! I’ve used infotainment.com and for them you need to pull the cluster, send it to them...program...send back and install by then you added miles and it’s off again and still spent 100 for programming plus shipping both ways.

With ALFAOBD you can do it in your driveway in under 10 min plus have the ability to change a ton of other things. If you have a android phone all you will need is ALFAOBD and the obd II reader the MX OBDII reader those 2 are about 120 something. If you don’t have an android (like me) you’ll need to get one I bought a cheap $40 tablet from Walmart and it works perfectly for this.

It's no big secret. This mod started back around 2011-12 with swapping a SLT cluster into a express. Mileage correction wasn't brought up until 2013-14 after the later 4th gens came out and parts became available and people found companies that did mileage correction
