May have a cluster for $20 working its at 200k my trucks only got around 170k. Do i have to reprogram the cluster or is it plug and play?
Nbs 99-02 cluster question

Merge is stored in the cluster, so it would need to be reprogrammed. You'd probably have to go to the dealer with your stock cluster in the truck to show actual mileage, swap clusters, and then have it programmed.
make sure its from the same year or damn close because they did change the cluster like 4 times in the nbs life.
yes but he didnt say they custer he is getting for 20 bucks is the same year frame, i think 99-02 were the same then 03-04, then 05-07 iirc
Good luck getting a dealership to reprogram the miles for you. 99% of dealers will NOT reprogram it unless it's a new cluster with zero miles. I bought a Denali cluster with zero miles and plugged it up to test it out in my truck. Drove it for about 6-7 miles to get the trans up to temp to verify that the trans temp gauge was working. Then I go to get the miles programmed and every dealer in town here refused to do it because I had 7 miles on the cluster. I was like AYFKM??
Ended up selling the dam thing for what I paid for it because getting it programmed was too much of a hassle. I did end up getting another one a year later in a trade, and it's sitting in my closet STILL waiting to be programmed.
God I wish I had a Tech-2 and I would just do it myself!
