I'll only flash clusters that I can see the original clusters mileage, and it will require a signed release from the owner. I've checked into this.

I need to find a cluster as my mileage and trip display have been going out on my '05. May have to see about a FX4 version. Thanks for the info!

...those FX4 clusters really ARE hard to find (used)! And I need to pay more attention to my spelling.

There's a guy selling one (or more) on Ebay right now for $175.00.

If you think that's a good price (

), go to ebay motors, search on "FORD F150 2005 cluster"

You'll see it. And it will pop up on any year from 2004 to 2008.

Yeah I do love my FX4 cluster.......thats right be jealous!!

**Bucko** · 02-08-2010, 10:20 PM

I'd have one in my STX if I could justify the price....there are other "pressing" items I'd put in front of it.

It is the sharpest cluster IMO.

just curious did you ever figure out why the dome light doesnt work with a new cluster when the door is opened or why the door ajar doesnt display?? is it just programmed into the cluster or is it something else?

Bucko, you are totally correct on the AC compressor not working on Lariat Cluster swaps. I have done this swap, and the AC blows, but not like it should. Also, the trip 1/2 button is, as stated, on a 3 button setup in the cluster bezel, right side. There is also a vented section below the buttons. I am going to be digging into my buddies Lariat to follow his wiring harness for those buttons so I can wire them up. I'll make sure to do a write up when/if I get it all figured out. I havent had any other issues with swapping my Lariat into my XLT though. Just wanted to FYI on that to everyone.
