I bought an '08 FX4 about 3 months ago and something has bothered me since day one of ownership. Am I suppose to have some sort of "FX4" emblem/badge along the bottom-middle, in the instrument cluster? At night it is just a bright, backlit rectangle that makes no sense. I have a center console shifter so I know it will not have the usual "PRND21" indicator there. Should something be there?

 

My 07 says FX4 in italics in that space.

 

yeah I thought they were supposed to be there....

 

i have 08 fx4 and it should say fx4 there

 

Thanks for the replies. I will take the cluster out this weekend to see if something has fallen out of place or dislodged.

 

Time to make carfax pay for the truck. Maybe the cluster was tampered with

 

Same here.

 

I have a 2005 Lariat. I thought the cluster was supposed to say "Lariat" somewhere, but it doesn't. Hmmm.....

 

I did a Carfax today and all of the mileage is accounted for and correct. I took the cluster out today and none of the screwheads had marks on them from any sort of previous disassembly.

I can see how that FX4 emblem "could" fall out though. I checked all around the steering column area. I even pulled the carpet back a little bit near the firewall to see if could be laying there.
No luck.

If anyone has a leftover "FX4" logo from a cluster swap please PM me. I can Paypal you cash for your time/postage.

 

FIXED IT!!! kinda....

I Google image searched a "FX4" logo. I then dove into my wife's hobby area and found some white card stock. Using our home computer printer set to max resolution, I printed the logo onto the card stock. Logo size is 2.5" x .48". After laminating it, I used packing tape and taped the logo underneath the black cluster background. The cluster backlights shines through the tape and card stock.

Something different & personalized.
