If i buy a premium gauge cluster on ebay. Do i need to wait until the milage they have? Or do i just put it in at home and they will just flash it? Im guessing milage is stored on computer?

I'm not sure if anyone has used alphaobd to program mileage on a 5th gen yet. I'm not exactly sure if any mileage correction company has yet, that I've seen. You could try infotainment and see if they have the ability. Otherwise yes you'd have to wait until the mileage matches

If you have a 2013 like your signature says then you posted in the wrong gen, as your truck is a 4th gen not a 5th gen.... use the search there are tons of threads on this subject already.

Was that true with 4th gens? I thought the 4th gens were programable at the dealer.

From what I've heard, dealer's can't program clusters, for fraud reasons, they get sent out to a 3rd party even if it's a warranty claim. Granted if a dealer really wanted to change mileage on vehicle's they'd only be out ~$100 per vehicle to lower mileage. The older the vehicle the easier it is to change mileage. 13+ requires a pcm and the cheapest I software found (prior to alphaobd) was $700 to change mileage. So you're at over $1000 right there. I'm not sure what is required for early 4th gens or 3rd gens.

I just figured that out lol, 50 posts of characters in just a few hours.

Post after post on my feed on Tapatalk of "." Pretty obvious. Then I checked his post count and it was at 45. Then he started posting he'd have 2 ra4 radio's for sale in a few minutes

Yeah I thought it was weird when I clicked refresh and saw the new threads light up (just was on here 4-5 hours ago, super bowl sunday etc..). Come to find out it's just some douche doing that to sell something.

Think we should find his for sale post and have the whole forum respond with "." ??

He hasn't posted yet. So either his account was closed or hasn't been approved for access yet. But sounds good to me

I'm hoping the mods saw what was going on and shut it down, but otherwise I will be keeping an eye on the for sale section!

Yet another reason I buy new. Apparently, now scumbags can not only pull the truck out of a lake and sell it to me.... they change the mileage too.
