XLT vs Lariat gauge cluster

[NHR]

Very cool! Thanks for the info. I'm going to give it a other shot when I have a minute

Bummer. I tried out my XLT cluster today.

I'm wondering if I need to find a cluster from an XLT FX4

No, you need to program your cluster with the options your original cluster had with your FORScan.
If you reinstall your OEM cluster and save the As Built data and then reinstall the 'new' cluster you can then push the As Built data back into the new cluster.

Brilliant! Thank you for the tip

Can't take credit for all the info. I'm a car guy for sure, but I'm new to FORScan and learning every day.
Hoping that the new RH switch pack is truly the fix for the inop station tuning steering wheel buttons.

Follow up on the ACC test, works like a charm again! So thank you to @NHR for getting me to go back out and dig through Forscan and now I've got all the functions of my original Lariat, minus controlling the radio with the upper right switch pack.

Well I finally got my cluster installed and ran my as built IPC in Forscan. Success!

The one thing I'm surprised by is I can't see my tire pressure anymore. Is that feature not available on the XLT? I figured it would be under Truck Info but the only screen there is Off Road

Nice! It should be available, maybe just need to activate it in Forscan? I know mine was until I disabled it after getting new tires and wheels and forgetting to get sensors installed.

It's there.

While I agree that it should be under Truck Info, it's actually under Driver Assist.

Select Driver Assist and it's down the menu a bit.

Reviving an old thread for updated info

I CAN CONFIRM that if you purchase the correct RH switches SW-8207 and program/switch the SCCM with the other RH switch pack choice in FORScan, you can have an XLT cluster in a Lariat with the correctly functioning RH switch pack buttons (volume, mode, mute, phone, channel buttons, ect...)

If you don't swap in the correct XLT switches, only the volume buttons work for the radio controls with the XLT cluster.

Can you give me the coding I need to do when doing this swap? My cluster just arrived and my switch is on it's way via Tasca. Thank You

First thing, with FORScan, make a backup of your IPC's AsBuilt.
Then install the buttons and the new to you IPC
Push the backup into the new IPC.
Open the SCCM config up in FORScan and change the RH buttons to the other available choice - If I'm remembering correctly, there are only 2 choice for RH steering wheel switches.

Clear codes and that should be it

Thank you... Just waiting on my new button. Cluster arrived on Friday.

Button install is pretty straight forward.
I found it was just as easy to pop the steering wheel off and work on the bench as it was to stand on your head to find all the little screws that retain the trim plate around the switches.

Well it looks like I got a bad cluster, It does nothing when plugged in and forscan cannot find IPC and lots of errors about lost communication. Argh!

Does forscan update your mileage?

Why pay for lariat features and pay again for XLT?? The lariat dash cluster is perfect, fits the truck interior well. The regular cluster looks like an economy car cluster.
