I cannot speak for 09-10 but I found an fx2 cluster from a '13 on eBay, swapped the clear cover from my stx and it worked just fine. I got lucky and found a cluster from a similarly optioned truck except mine is missing the back up sensors so when I put it in reverse it just ask me if I want to disable the backup sensors. Otherwise everything works great! I will get pics tomorrow, but the black trim rather then the chrome it came with looks killer!!

Is the "built as" data stored on the cluster ??? And can a speedo repair place load it from my original and dump it to the new one this is the only thing I know to try before I give up the idea of this working I like the chime on the new one better lol!!!

The wiring harness is different. You have a completely different computer system from 2010 down, different motors, etc. Ford techs have said in other messages it will not work.

i emailed that guy through ebay and he got back to me tonight. I was hoping i could drive the cluster to him, since he was in Brooklyn, NY and i am in nj near nyc. But he wants it shipped. I nearly laughed at where I had to ship it, seems so beyond shady.
