Replacing your instument cluster
Has anyone ever had to replace/replaced their instrument cluster in their Super Duty? If so where did you buy the replacement? and the all important question: how much did it cost? Thanks for any help.

Never done it in a SD but am going through it now with a 2007 Crown Vic police interceptor. Fairly easy removal and I shipped to a place in Georgia to get refurbed. Unfortunately it turns out to be an internal hardware issue that they can't fix. But they did give me a full refund minus the cost to ship back to me.
Bought another cluster on ebay and if I can't get the vendor to ship it directly to the refurb outfit, I'm shipping it to them as soon as it lands at my house. They'll make sure it's right and also adjust the odometer to the actual miles on the car.
Any chance of just sending yours out to be fixed?

I'll look and see if I can find a used cluster.......isn't the odometer info stored in the trucks PCM? I know when I took mine out to replace the bulbs when I plugged everything back in the odometer was all O's for a short time and then the mileage came back to the correct reading.
I thought about throwing a used one in but it would have been dishonest in the extreme in both directions. One on ebay had 371k on it and another located at a salvage place in Texas only had 51k. I actually have just a shade under 112k.

I can't say for sure that your truck would be the same as the car, even though both are Ford. In my situation I'm told that the mileage is stored in the cluster - not the PCM, that's why the refurb guys can set it to what my old one said before I removed it. They have you sign a statement and send it to them with the cluster if you have an odometer adjustment.
