Re: Let's try Ford now.
That’s the cluster my buddies 2020 Lariat has. I really like the look of it and all the functions it has. He enabled the boost gauge and the actual numeric values for the gauges too. The boost gauge is fun lol.

Re: Let's try Ford now.
I'm not going to sign up for a forum just to post this. There's a thread that's 260 pages long, and probably 95% of the posts are either "where can I find a cluster" or "hey, look at my new cluster". 
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Re: Let's try Ford now.
Probably similar to my before/after I would assume?
Mine went from something like this to this when I swapped.

Re: Let's try Ford now.
This makes me wonder if I can swap in the Platinum all digital cluster into our Explorer

Re: Let's try Ford now.
My before was Jason's after. Here's a good example. https://www.f150forum.com/f118/gauge-cl ... ost6844941
The entry level cluster just had a little 2" square blue display.
The 21+ F150 has an all digital option, but it's far from plug and play in my truck. And the graphics are ugly.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that in my searches. People are putting them in Mavericks, and before that they were doing all digital MKZ clusters into Fusions.Aaron wrote:This makes me wonder if I can swap in the Platinum all digital cluster into our Explorer

Re: Let's try Ford now.
Oh, I thought yours was the newer one.
Check this out. Just one thread of many.

You can get rid of the factory bezel with the numbers and convert it over to fully digital with a 3d printed bezel and some custom firmware.
The Fusion guys have done a ton of these with MKZ and Mondeo donor clusters.
I think it's a Visteon cluster, so in theory I know how to copy the mileage over. Converting it without having a dump of your current cluster would be a little harder. They're cheap too. Let me know if you want to give it a go.

Re: Let's try Ford now.
Do it anyway
Re: Let's try Ford now.
It's cold and dreary and I'm bored. So let's discuss the mystery of my suspension.
The Chevy dealer I bought it from did a fair amount of work on it. Nothing bad or suspicious. It definitely added some value to it, which is another reason I bought it. The suspension is weird though. The truck is leveled, and it doesn't seem lowered. If anything it might be just slightly lifted. The strut part numbers are for plain black Monroe QuickStruts. But the truck has silver Belltech Street Performance shocks at all 4 corners. I can't find that 84628MT part number anywhere.
To be clear, I did not pay for this.

Re: Let's try Ford now.
I actually think your truck IS lowered. Here is my buddies 2020 Lariat, and all he had done was a front leveling kit (rear is factory). You can see how much more wheel gap there is.

Re: Let's try Ford now.
are you sure its not 'reverse leveled?' Where they pull the rear lift blocks out and leave the front alone.
