Hey gents, I have a 2007 XL 4X4 which came factory without a tachometer, well I picked up a lariat gauge cluster a few years ago dirt cheap, like 20 bucks at the pick and pull, knowing full well that I would lose my air conditioning, it wasn't a problem at the time because where I was stationed in the army it wasn't very hot and I hated the strain it put on my truck, I spent countless hours changing the color of the gauges after I picked it up and it looks awesome, but I'm now out of the army and back home in Northern California where 100 degree temps are pretty common and normal. So I want to put a different cluster in my XL to regain my AC. I couldn't find the old thread I was on and I've lost my knowledge of which ones will work with manual AC controls (no thermometer) no compass, and a console shifter, and 4X4, I Prefer to keep a tachometer too. What trim model should I look for?







common.

Anything out of an XL/STX/XLT will work. If the FX4's have manual AC, those would work too.

The xl and STX with manual transmissions have tachometers.

To be safe, I'd stick with the one of the first 3. Also, get one from an 07-08 only. Previous do not have tpms and your truck does.

The cluster color change does look cool. But I'd swap to clear needles, you can't see yours, especially with the blue.

Thanks for reply brother. I'll post up a write up after I find a worthy cluster

FX4's have the compass, although it is in the backlit display with the odometer. Best looking cluster out of all the trim models in my opinion.

but will it work without having a compass and do the FX4's have auto AC controls?

My FX4 has manual AC controls.

and mine has auto climate...depends on the package/options you get

XLT also has the compass and ambient temp display. I have the chrome package one. Looks just like my original XL cluster just with some silver accents.

In most models, no. In my original thread on cluster swaps, these questions are answered.

I just did FX4 cluster swap in my 05 XLT. The only issues I had were the tpms light blinking, which was an easy fix and just cover the light, and the door locks when in motion. I've set it but the next time I start the truck it doesn't lock again. Other than those issues, everything works in mine.
