Hey guys,
just a quick question, what's the difference between KR3Z-10849-JG and JR3Z-10849-JB? They seem to work on similar trims but the price is like 200 different. Thanks!

It’s due to a difference in purchasing at Ford. The basic part is the same.

Crickets…lol
I’ve sent a couple follow up emails and no reply??
Side note-small rant..wtf is with every ford dealer??
Called 2 more dealerships in my state and neither had a clue or even where to start on ordering just the cluster
8 now, 1 said he’d get back to me and nothing. Others either ghosted after asking, literally sent 1/2 dozen emails over weeks and nothing. Not one knew anything about a exchange program. Couple flat out said no, can’t be done, odometer Can’t be altered..
All I got is.. wtf

I sent you a reply a few days ago and never heard back. Ford dealers aren’t “educated” in changes such as this. I’m not sure what questions you’re asking them or what part numbers you’re giving them.
Ordering a cluster, or any electronic part, isn’t the same as ordering a fender or a cylinder head. You don’t dial up a FAD or place an order through the normal stock order process.

Freek,
Just call the guys at AutoNation Ford White Bear Lake (Mike R.) as stated on page one of this thread.. They will know what you need, I believe the thread creator buys a lot of his Ford "Kits" from them. I bought all my steering wheel switches from them and got them in like four days. Just tell them you want to do a digital dash conversion. They should point you in the right direction and/or parts. The other options as stated before. Kits can be purchased from Breeves or maybe also Hextall which comes with all the Forscan programming, parts and mileage adjustment. As they say, sometimes you have to pay to play... other options is to find a wreck unit to get the digital dash out of it. Going this route will require a firmware program to zero out the mileage. Then you increase to your current via Forscan. I believe Breeves and maybe others could do the firmware update. I think the folks in this thread have given you plenty of options.

@HextallS550
huh, just looked in my junk folder even, no replies within last few weeks from ya. Don’t know .
Gave them the part numbers from the 1st page.
@HoosierDaddy
ya I contacted them, they can get everything but the cluster.
@Ferrcad
Besides your last sentence, all good info and most I already knew.
I was trying to find the cluster on my own and attempt to program what I could , but more I’m thinking I’m thinking I just to skip that part.
But Im also pretty committed to the base to sync 3 conversion (as I was talking back and forth with hex)
but now that I’m looking at the digital cluster also.. I’m thinking it’s a lot of cheddar to pop out..lol
Just want my ducks in a row and knoweverything I can before I commit. OCD thing.

@Mustangfreek do the Sync3 conversion first. Far more bang for the buck. Plus it gives you the toggle switches. The digital dash is great but it's mostly eye candy.

There is one line of As Built Data to change for that, it’s on Sam’s spreadsheet in the first page.

Ya, I’ll admit it’s one of the first mods I looked at for my base 15’ and I contacted hex a month or so ago about it. Then got carried away and a hospital snafu sidetracked me.
Im doing the Sync 3 conversion first.
@Hextall sent ya a message back

Would need to find someone to flash the firmware to convert it to automatic and also zero out mileage. Once that is done then it is the same install as detailed in this thread. You would use Forscan to set the correct mileage of your current speedo to the new. I believe the creator of this thread (Breeves) can do it for a price along with some others.
