Be honest and tell your local Ford dealership what you are doing, and they can flash the correct amount of kays into the FPV cluster.There will be a error code stored permanently in the ECU once you change clusters, there is no way of wiping this, it just states that a cluster change has taken place. The ECU will always store exactly how many kays the car has travelled, regardless of what the cluster displayes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better ease up on the mods there champ!!!!!We have blokes on here destroying diffs, putting legs out of bed, oil pump gears shearing, and you're loosing sleep over a friggin cluster change?!?!?!?!?If I was buying a used XR6T/F6/anything and it came up with a error code changed cluster I couldnt give 2 sh*ts, id check how many kays are logged on the ECU and see if that matched the cluster installed. And if it did, id buy it, and if it didnt, id walk away. And id say that the majority of people on here would do the same.Ford have changed all of my clusters, its not a hard job, yes you need access to a WDS to flash in the correct kays, yes my car still has full warranty besides clusters, and in all honesty, what else do you need to know? Yes my cars all have a error code cluster changed, and I sleep very well at night knowing this, and id say Ford dont give 2 sh*ts./rant off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford can only change KM's on brand new clusters. A DTC is not raised when you change a cluster. A value is changed in the cluster that records if the KM's have been changed from new.Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
