I have a 2014 Ram 1500 Express that I am needing to relace the instrument cluster. I was able to pick one up at a salvage yard. My main question is about the milage. Is there any way to have an instrument cluster from salvage set to your current cluster milage. I have 41,790 miles on my truck now and the one from salvage has 250,000 miles on it

 

I think you would have to send it out to have the mileage programmed. The dealer *might* be able to do it in-house, but, beyond that, I don't its something that the average joe on the street is going to be able to do.

 

Thanks HeyYou that gives me something to check on. I was wondering if I swap the display computer screen in cluster, might it maintain the milage it displays? I was going to try that but, I was afraid it may change my milage to the salvage clusters milage. My 42k milage is important to me to keep, 250k is just no.

 

Mileage is likely store on a chip there somewhere, but, which one??? That is a very good question. I would have a chat with the dealer, and see what all is involved with updating the mileage. Likely need to talk to the parts department.

 

I am going with milage is stored on a chip on the circuit board . I tested both first with the display screen on them. Although if I move the digital display from the salvage to mine, it retain it's mileage's did find a solution though, I kept my circuit board and just move the replacement cluster on my circuit board. Simple enough for me and actually pretty easy I think.

Thank you HeyYou. you hit on just enough to get me determined to beat this thing. So now that's one way to do it.

 

Let us know what you end up doing.

 

Alfa OBD.

 

I ended up keeping the original circuit board and digital display & swapping over the needed gauges that had failed. This allowed me to have a fully functional instrument panel with original 41,790 miles on it
