Thinking about doing the same, where did you order your XLT cluster from?
@Bludrok solution makes complete sense but here’s another solution or thought process… can see everything you want and more. Get benefit of added power unless you really don’t want a tune for whatever reason.. even though Livernois offers very safe tunes with lower octane too.

Ive actually got my Livernois tuner mounted in the same place and on the gauges page as well, thanks for the suggestion though! Just more of a fan of the XLT cluster than the Lariat.

I'm fly. I'm pilot.
Can you elaborate on your tach solution? What does it look like?

What functionality of the Lariat cluster do you not want to lose?
I have the Bullydog tuner and it shows me a 4-digit tach. Literally just shows the numbers "2200" on the screen.

Just like this

Hey all, received my XLT cluster today (with lower miles) than my Lariat and I'm trying to up the mileage using Forscan to match my Lariat cluster but when I try to write in Forscan it tells me "Service procedure has been interrupted". Any ideas? I've searched the web but no luck so far but thought some people have had success upping the mileage on a different cluster.

Iirc you might need a paid version of Forscan and not the free one to change odometer

Hmm I've got the extended license already, is that what you're referring to?
pretty sure yes. I know some features are listed but don’t work with the free version. If you paid for a subscription be it a year, or lifetime use fee then it does work

Hmm, no luck on mine. Tried a few different troubleshooting steps but still no dice. I've got a second cluster with higher mileage than mine I'll just wait to swap in if need be. Currently sent off the first XLT cluster to an odometer correction service to bring it up to my mileage, assuming that works out.

I would be very surprised if FORScan will let you change odometer readings.

I would think that would be an OEM locked procedure to prevent tampering, with strict oversight by some type of governing body.

Because we all know that nobody would ever turn the miles back to make a higher profit or anything like that...

Reminds me of a story my dad told me.

He bought a used car from a dealer in a nearby city.

After getting it home he found a service receipt for the car but with an additional 20 thousand miles on it (this was in the 60's when engines were worn out at 100k).

He called the dealer and they had him return the car and gave him a much nicer car with guaranteed miles.

They said it was because they made a "grave error" but it was more likely hush money in the form of a nicer car.

This was my thought initially but figured since I'd read a few reports on here about going up in mileage being possible I'd give it a shot.

I read somewhere FORscan could add miles, but not subtract. But dont recall where...

Wanted to follow up on this, ended up trying to send the replacement XLT cluster off to have the odometer corrected and brought up to my truck's mileage, however, the service I chose said they didn't have the ability to change mileage on our clusters after receiving it. So for the hell of it, since it's a simple swap, I swapped the XLT cluster in again once it got back and hooked up Forscan and went to change the mileage and received the same error while failing at 2%. At this point I assumed it just wasn't going to work but still wanted to change a couple other things in Forscan before shutting everything off so I wrote those changes and then the cluster rebooted itself (may not be the correct description) and lo and behold once the cluster was back up it had my matching mileage with the truck. Not 100% sure what I did specifically to get it to work, maybe attempting to write the mileage was actually successful and then writing the other changes in Forscan made it stick after rebooting? My backup plan was to buy a higher mileage cluster and just drive till I met the mileage. Here's the before and after and I'm pumped to have a full tach and speedo now as well as easier to read temp and fuel gauges.

That's awesome! Can you tell us what happens with the right side steering wheel controls? Are they just dead now?
