need help with gauge cluster

i have an 03 f150, it had a speedometer with no tach in it, i got one with a tach, switch the little digital circles hoping to keep the miles my truck actually has, after i put it in the theft has been activated and my truck wont start, what should i do? is there anything i can do about the mileage also?

I dont think you can do anything about the mileage.
It wont start because the anti-theft system doesn't recognize the new instrument cluster. You're going to have to get it towed to your dealer and have them reprogram the keys so that it all works together again. Take any spare keys you have for it along too.
