YouTubed it seems like a simple job to R&R but can I have it programmed out of the truck or will I have to go to a shop who has the technology to Program it and then they will charge alot ?
For an 18 year old truck, just buy a used cluster with similar miles and swap it. I wouldn’t waste $600 dollars on programming.

It can be sent out. You don’t need the truck to have it programmed.

Thanks that’s good to know 🤔 also I just found out it can be sent out and repaired for $195 that way no reprogramming necessary. How much for programming If I went with a used part ?
