2008 XLT - Lariat Cluster Swap

I would like to swap my 2008 XLT F-250 5.4L cluster for a Lariat cluster. Has anyone done this?

Do the 2008s need to be programmed to the PCM or an you do a swap at will?

Thanks

What's the difference? My 02 is the same for all trim levels. The only difference is the redline on the tachometer.

The 2008 XLT has a black face cluster and the Lariat is white and has more computer functions.

i somehow doubt your trucks PCM will simply reocognize and use the Lariat's additional functions.

that would be nice but i wouldnt be expecting it to bolt in and work that easy.

Having done cluster swaps in other vehicles, sometimes the only way to tell is to pull the old one and compare the pinouts to the new one.
