The cluster stores mileage as well, so whatever mileage is on the cluster
you put in, is what will be displayed by the odometer. I have put a '99
cluster into my '00 and had it work just fine, except I lost the ability to
check my codes with the key trick. I'd see if you could work out a deal
that if the cluster doesn't work you could return it for a refund. And if
it does work, try the key on/key off trick to check codes. I'm interested
to see if it's a cluster function since I lost it when I put a '99 cluster
in my '00.

Subject: DML: Gauge Cluster
anybody know if the cluster from a 2000 Dakota (4.7L with the 7k RPM limit)
will plug into the stock harness for a 98? my new cam raises the power band
on my engine to about 5800rpm, and I found a cluster that would work, but I
want to know if it'll plug in before spending the $70 on the unit.
also, I would imagine that the odometer on the truck isn't kept by the gauge
cluster, but by the PCM or some other tracking unit, right?!
thanks,
