Colorado Cluster Swap

Okay, so I thought this thread might be helpful for anyone else attempting this mod.
From what I understand, the 08 and older Colorado gauge clusters didn't have the traction control icon. So that means that most of us will want to use an 09 and later? And I believe there is no trimming involved just plug n play? Thanks

Hummer guys "upgrade" to a Colorado cluster and Colorado guys "upgrade" to a hummer cluster. I just don't get this mod.

Amen to that. Like many Hummer mods it begs the simple question..."Why?"

I like the Colly cluster because the gauges are slightly larger and the back isn't silver, I wouldn't necessarily call it an upgrade. People always want what they don't have. I don't have an H1, I reeeeeeeeallly want one.

I thought this might be a thread about something kinky in Colorado...............

Don't you have to get a certification from a dealer as to your mileage and send off the new one somewhere to get the correct mileage set??

Not really, as long as the new cluster has lower miles than the current one the pcm will update it with your miles.

So if you swap a PCM for one with lower miles....will it update the odometer, and lower the mileage on the display?

I think I read before that it only works if the cluster has less miles than the pcm, if it's the other way around the cluster won't change until the count on the pcm catches up with the cluster. You'd have to replace both the pcm and cluster with lower mileage versions than what you currently have.

That's a good question, I hadn't thought about what would happen if you replaced both at the same time, hypothetically speaking, since it would be totally illegal mileage tamper. GM probably has some built in protection against that, have to replace one, let it update the other or it won't work or somesuch. Though really with GM I wouldn't be surprised if 3 wheels fell off and the whole thing burst into flames if you tried to replace both at the same time.
Colly clusters are cheap, I paid 25 bucks for a nice one off fleabay.

So if you swap a PCM for one with lower miles....will it update the odometer, and lower the mileage on the display?

My mileage stayed the same when I swapped my stock pcm fo a tuned one from pcm of nc. I dont remember anywhere on order sheet where they asked for mileage.
