I've heard the swap works on some 94-97s and others dont, i dont know if its year specific or not. Wouldn't have to worry about the odometer saying "no bus" on yours atleast, lol
Right, my black 99 has the tach. I guess if they cant do anything (for a reasonable price) its a decision between having a functional odometer or a tach, lol I'll talk to the dealer today and let ya know what happens in case anyone else out there attempts this in the future.
UPDATE: I talked to the dealer today and he said there is nothing he thought they could do, he was sayin there is a discrepancy betwwen the PCM of a 99 and one of a 01, and that I would have a better bet of everything working as usual with a 99 cluster. Don't know if thats true or not but thats what i got
UPDATE (again): I got a cluster out of a 99 Dakota and works flawlessly. Only issue is the mileage is off, but nothin you can do with that I guess. Only other difference is 4x4 light now says "4x4 Part-Time" when 4x4 is engaged.

Mileage can be updated in the pcm. You can send the pcm off to one of the PCM repair/exchange places and they can correct the mileage. I believe its around $200. As long as you don't plan to sell the truck then its not a big deal.
