Question Any PSOM guru ????

Hi all, recently I bought half F150 truck in a local yard, the idea is switch the whole passanger cab with wiring and everythig, but I'm going to have a problem:

1º The new cab has the standard English speedmeter with MPH graphics, but I live in Venezuela and we use Metrics and Km/H grapics, the question: Is it possible reprogram the PCM to show Metrics readings on speed meter and Odo?? no mater the graphics, I can take care of that with help of a local graphics design company.

2º The total Odo reading can be reprogramed also to mach my actual truck reading ???

3º I'll have to reprogram also the constant because I'm using 31/105R15 LT tires, I know there are a lot of articles about this but someone knows whitc is the constant I should program?

Thanks all, any help/comment will be appreciated.

Just swap your old PSOM with the one in your new cluster.

Hey SubFord, thanks for the imput BUT that's not posible, because my truck is 1986 and there is no PSOM used on that cluster. Sorry I forgot menction that...

MY truck is 1986 but the new cab to be installed is 1995...

Are you swapping more than the cab? If you don't have the differential or the tranny(don't know which one that year) with the speed sensor, I don't think it's going to work anyway. It's fully electronic with no cable correct?

Well I'm talking to my local Ford dealer trying to get a new totally programed cluster, BUT it will be very difficult since here in Venezuela, electrical/electronics support was/is almost null...
