I did a search already and found nothing. I am wondering if I buy a 06 Tremor White face cluster will it directly plug into my 06 STX cluster spot? Wondering becuase I want white face gauges......???

 

It sure will, A 04-05 Edge white faced cluster will as well.

 

There have been no confirmed mileage change on 04+ trucks. Try it out and let everyone know. I would think the PCM sends messages to the screen and presto bango, your mileage will be there. But, idk.

 

Thats exactly what it does

 

Good. I will look tonight for a gauge set. found new one from fordparts.com for $250 or so... but don't wanna pay that much...

 

I have a spare I'm not going to use, I'm not sure what its worth though.

Clear ur messages can't send you a PM. anyways Just let me know...

 

clear now...lol

 

just bought the white face cluster. It should look nice....

 

Well went out to install my new cluster and guess what it doesn't work.

I guess the PCM does not send the ODOMETER reading to the unit.I plugged the new one in and it read 9000 miles vice my 35000 miles...


so guess need to ask if I switch the odometer unit from my current one to the new one it should work, right?????

Also looking into the LED mod before i install it again...

 

keep us updated im interested to know what you end up doing.

 

That's odd I have the newer style digital gauge cluster in my Focus SVT and it keeps the mileage in the PCM.

That's odd the Ranger stores it in the cluster.

 

Did you take the needles off? I have had every single component of that cluster off - you can change the odometer but I don't see why that would help. If any information is stored on the cluster it is on the chip. Use your stock cluster and put the parts on that you want too.

I have extra white faces from a spare I bought, I don't know if I'll sell them on here or keep it as spare.

 

Unplug the battery, turn the headlight switch on and the off and plug the battery back up. See if that does anything.

 

so basically reset my PCM??? I will try it tomorrow... think i will do the whole blue gauge face change and see if it works.... Anyone done just a color swap on the cluster vice leds??? DO they make direct replacement leds for the cluster????

 

Dude: read my posts and search. I did a full cluster replacement in a 2004 just a few weeks ago. There are quite a few 2003 and prior rangers with an LED swap. If you are looking for a new cluster face with a different look I suggest you call usspeedo at 810-244-0909 ask for rusty.

I bought thier needles for my cluster and thier products are good quality. Make sure if you are looking for needles that rusty gets you ones that will fit because the original 2004 needles that they sent me were too big and woulndt hold onto the shafts of the motors. Instead he is sending me GM needles that he says should fit much tighter.

From what I have looked at they sell a 'stainless steel' looking and an "aqua" looking face set for the ranger. I like my white gauges more so I'm not interested in those, however you might be.

Please search for relevant info on cluster mods before posting as there is a lot of good info on ranger-forums.

 

JP7,

Had you read what i wrote instead of just jumping around...


I had asked if anyone if they had done just a color swap(scratch the green off and paint blue) instead of using leds(just use the stock white bulbs). Then I asked if they made stock replacement LED's. I had seen someone with them but they said they were too long in that post... and havn't seen an answer on the bulb type/part number for the shorter ones....

 

Ford must've changed that for the newer models. My roomate swapped a cluster with a tach into his 2007 ZX3 and it was stored in the cluster, so it reads more than it actually has lol

 

cool this means you can short out the chip and zero your miles!
