Yea, I was once told I couldnt change the cluster cause the mileage would be different and would not work, unless I had the vin # programmed into the cluster itself...

no the miles will not change... i swaped mine out. Theonly thing you need to check is the year of the car it came out of if you have a 2005 the 2005/2006 guages will work. If you have a 2007 only the 2007 gauages will work..... i don't know about the 2008...

also there is a thing called a search button... this question has been answered on here more the once...
