Swap dash cluster

[SolidusJ]

I'm thinking about picking up a Colorado dash cluster and change the skin and needles. I wanted to know what will happen with my mileage? Isn't it locked into the PCM so j@ck offs don't rip off people?

The BCM holds the mileage. Can't speak for a CC cluster installed in a H3, but when replacing the H3 cluster with an H3 cluster don't get shocked if the cluster ODO reads zero when you first start the vehicle. I believe the vehicle has to be rolling for the BCM to send the "miles" to the cluster.

Hmmm the owner of the cluster I'm talking to say the cluster has 90,XXX mile on it right now? As much as I want the cluster I don't want to risk jacking my miles up.

You could always just get a US Speedo colored dash plate if you just wanna change the color.

I could but their clusters look pretty sweet with some after market parts.

The 90K miles shown are not in the cluster, they are in the CC BCM. You cannot add any miles to the BCM; that can only be done with normal driving or via a programmer.

I thought about putting a Colorado cluster in mine as well. I want something different and without the auto tranny gear indicators. Looks better with out the letters.

If they're the same cluster can't you just apply the the after market stuff to the one you already have & save yourself the money of buying a whole new one?

SO look what I got!!!!!!! Only thing is my MPH isn't working but the person that made it said use electrical grease and maybe that will work. If it doesn't he'll swap it. Just had to pay $25 and trade mine in.

Nice!

I like it much better than factory one.

Damn that looks badass!

Cool, looks like a great project.

looks very cool!

I always wondered about swapping a full size truck cluster (like in the H2) into my H3 when I had it. I had read somewhere that the BCM of the H3 can provide the info required for trans temp, voltage, etc. that the full size has gauges for.

Those clusters are huge, the Colorado fit perfect and the guy can install and color LED to you liking. On the second cluster I'm changing the drive selector indicator to blue and then that will tie everything in.

That is awesome!!! Where did you get that done?

I'm over at 335 Nation also and I was asking about the cluster and I received a lot of info from them and someone stepped up and said he'll make whatever I wanted. After seeing what he can do I came up with what I wanted and 2 days latter the new cluster was there. Just $25 for the shipping and he had a return sticker inside for my H3 cluster and that's all she wrote.

I like it, its unique.

You know......at first I was like, why go to the trouble.... it can't make that big a difference.

Boy was I wrong.

I'm diggin the hell out of that.

Very nice.

The maker doesn't have anymore Colorado cluster but willing to help us out if anyone want new LED's in any color.

 

[autumn walker]

would he put LEDs into an H2 cluster? I have a US cluster now, I'd love to have an LED'd Canadian cluster.

 

[Hans3T]

Does it calculate fuel economy or does it function exactly like the OEM one?

Looks pretty spiffy.

I don't see why not!!!!

Just OEM with upgrade LED's that's all.

What I really wanna know is can the h3 provide the info for the truck itself, like temps and what not. Anyone got that info?
