Just programmed and installed in less than 30mins. So easy thanks to you, the XL Peasant Saga upgrade continues…. Sync 1-->3 + wiring tailgate camera running under through the truck into the radio is next. That’s definitely gonna be interesting…. wish me luck. Love this channel btw
This is a great place to have accurate and precise information, thanks for that. The only question I have is, once the original data is downloaded and flashed back to the new cluster, is the VIN # carry over to the new cluster?
I'm curious about something you did with FORScan after turning on the cluster for the first time. You hit "No" on the FORScan screen message that asked you to load your saved profile (VIN). Once all of the corrections are completed in the new cluster, is FORScan creating a new profile matching that new cluster?, and after that, do you consequently answer "Yes" confirming your truck profile on futures interventions with FORScan?
You can hit yes every time if you want. If you hit no It just doesn't scan for new modules each time so if you hit no it assumes you have the same setup. It still looks for dtcs though.
Great video. I plan on doing this swap and was wondering if you had or knew where to find a step by step guide for doing the forscan part? It seems like there are a lot of options to go through in forscan and I would like to print of step by step instructions.
I noticed the you reply for this message but you haven't reply or answered my question.. where do bought the cluster ??? Why you don't want to knowing ???
I just did the exact swap. Follow you step by step thank you very much man huge help! Did you by chance figure out how to get the miles to empty above the fuel gauge? Any help would be great. Thanks again!!
Besides updating mileage, can you do things like engine hours, trip meters, oil life percentage, etc? Edit, rewatched, I see where you showed the engine hours.
@@deweyyates7057 look at about the 22:15 mark You cannot reset engine hours, only add to (like the miles) and like he mentions, it’s done in seconds. Somehow mine got jacked up and I have 3000 hours instead of 300 so be careful.
I'm not sure what is going on. Maybe the file is corrupt. You have a couple of options potentially. You could temporarily reconnect the old IPC again and reread and save the file. Or forscan has a built-in "as built" look up function now on most vehicles. You could search via your vin # and get the IPC as built for your truck and flash that to the new cluster.
Good afternoon. How do I change the shift selector display from PRNDM21 to PRNDM? checked thru forscan back and forth more than 10 times and can’t seem to find it.
iam trying to do this in my 2019 f250 and forescan is saying "service procedure has been interrupted" i also tried your way with saving original cluster and uploading it that way says not enough value blocks. do you have any insight a to why this is happening?

I bought one off a guy with about 30k more miles on it than my truck has, you said there is a way to get them to go back down, how might I do that? Serious question
Great video! Did you also add power fold mirrors or just puddle lights? I noticed the switch in your vent trim? I looked for a video to see if you had one for that upgrade but I couldn’t find one. Nice truck brother!
My truck came with puddle lights and side spot lights but no power fold mirrors. I haven't added them either. Don't need them. Thanks for the compliment.
When I write all for my old cluster data to the new cluster that took away all the new clusters features my old cluster didn’t have anyone else have this issue.
It's the baseline you need to be at. Now you can go back with forscan and just enable the specific features that you want to add that your truck will support. For instance the compass in the display won't work if you don't have a compass module. You will have a bunch of error messages if you don't flash to your OEM build code
Is there a place to buy the cluster from the raptop or sport model? I have forscan and the scan tool just trying to price the cluster and the option I can get with forscan compared to what one seller can do with lights logos and sport mod ect...

@@JackofAllMasterofNone so the only thing i need to manually do is the mileage and the hours? Also for the mileage do i put in the decimal and the numbers after. Or just the numbers before the decimal?
Most likely not. It will function but you will have multiple errors on the display every time you start the truck if it doesn't match the feature set of your truck exactly.
It should yes. I can not 100% guarantee that though. Usually dealers order them with the mileage pre programmed so I'm not sure if you bought a new one if they would ask... Programming it with as built data would be the same.
I followed your steps and was able to swap clusters and change odometer, engine hours and idle hours. Only issue I am having is getting the DTE to show above the fuel level and the digital temperatures to show above the coolant and transmission gauge. Any suggestions on how to add that?
I'm about to swap clusters. I understand the process for the odometer, but did you have to do anything for the engine hours or did they match what was on your old cluster? Might check "Ricardo's Workshop" channel for your question - he has a bunch of Forscan videos.
@@tnfrosty yes I had to change the engine and idle hours. You have to enter the amount of seconds for the engine and idle hours. The new forscan is pretty useful because no spreadsheet is needed, but I wish it was easier to navigate to the option you want to adjust

It's not hard it's just a simple setting in forscan that I have not bothered to do. If you search Google you will find the answer pretty quickly.
Can you just have the lariat cluster or can a king ranch cluster go in and in what order should I buy the things to set this all up
Did you add the mirror spot lights to?
Love the video. I have a 2018 so will I need to do the relearn setting. Also do you have to put in your drive and idle hours.

Is it possible to edit the engine and idle hours in the new cluster??

Does it matter if the cluster is from a ecoboost since the tach would be different?
It's just a looks thing it doesn't matter
Would the same apply to a 2016 navigator? How do you ensure the VIN is cloned?
Will this work for a 2017 f-450?

All that info comes from the navigation system. You would have to upgrade to sync 3 most likely.

I bought one off a guy with about 30k more miles on it than my truck has, you said there is a way to get them to go back down, how might I do that? Serious question

My truck came with puddle lights and side spot lights but no power fold mirrors. I haven't added them either. Don't need them. Thanks for the compliment.
Couldn't you get a cluster with a lower mileage, install it and not update it to the actual higher mileage?
You could but that is illegal.
Aside from the camera. How much did this whole set up cost u?
I bought a cluster and the guy lied about the miles and it has 125k and mine has 73 k is there any way to get the 125k cluster programmed to 73k?
Possibly a speedometer shop. If you search around on eBay people offer the service.
