What's that cluster being installed into? It takes only 20 minutes to remove the old one, and another 5 minutes to install (at least plug in the 3 top cables). You'll then know the mileage.
The wiring for the cluster are not well defined as to power and ground for the info center portion of the cluster, so bench powering will be difficult to perform. By the time you figure it out, you could have this cluster installed temporarily and know its mileage.
And you are aware that most of the info center displays, along with your interior dome lighting is not going to work in your STX, right?
