Won't work, the ECM holds the WORM chip that records the mileage, if you swap out the cluster, you will still see the same mileage.
My money is on someone at the factory grabbing the incorrect cluster for an FX4. Dealership should be able to swap it for the correct one at no charge.

Had a Neon a while back that was supposed to have a premium stereo, someone at the factory put a standard radio in it instead. Dodge swapped it out with the correct stereo at no charge, and sent me a nice note apologizing for the mistake.

It has all the FX silver dash pieces--XLT & Lariat don't have those. It also has hill decent control indicating it has the off-road pack. Cluster is odd--not like the XLT or Lariat either. I was thinking it may be an international cluster but doubt any others would have MPH as primary units instead of kilometers. The font kind of looks like the Raptor font but Raptor clusters say "SVT" on them. Have never seen that cluster before.


**EDIT: I wonder if it is a law enforcement type cluster for special police units (& someone grabbed the wrong one on the line)

Maybe on other trucks but not these. The cluster retains the mileage.

You actually have a FX3 3/4. No logo on tach, no entry in the club. Sorry.
Jk. Glad you got a favorable answer. Now where are those b*tches that doubted its authenticity at with my money....

I have been looking at purchasing a used fx4 and noticed trucks out of Canada had KM and when imported for sales in US people swapped out gauges with either white background or blackbackground plain gauge cluster with no FX.
