milage on cluster swap

want to swap my ls cluster w/a ss/na cluster...would the miles read what my car has, or what the cluster had when it was taken from the ss? i have never tried a cluster swap when they're electrical...anybody tried this yet?

Please try a search. There are other threads on this topic. You can not swap clusters. They are controlled by the cars ECM, and it will not recognize the different part. And no, you can't change the ECM either.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be shitty.

But yes, Black Cat makes different overlays for all the Cobalt clusters.

Halfcent, did you take the white face cluster I had at th CED meet? It was in a box in front of Biohazards car. I have been wondering who got it and if it worked.

If the tach and speedo increments are the same, it should work normally.

However...

Check the price of what you are buying against a Black Cat overlay. You can probably buy a new overlay for less and get exactly what you want. They even do custom lettering.

but there was the sports package with the white gauges on the 2.2 also, so if you swapped one of those in, your stock milage will still show up since its stored in the bcm and not the clusted

The sport package you refer to has different increments beside just being white. They are not compatible.
