Man... I don't have the ABS or TC, so I doubt I have the cluster. Plus my fiance would not see the benefit of this upgrade vs the cost. To me, it would be a diggable new toy for sure, but it just plain looks like I'll have to overlook this one. I already got it outta my head when I bought the car knowing it was not part of it, but doggone it, my hopes were raised in this thread... until.... the no ABS or TC part.
But WTG to those who did it and those who will do it! It's pretty kewl.
Hey, I don't have either of them as well. Soo just pop it out and you might be surprised, I know I was!!

So there is no issue with using the GT cluster on the V6. When are you going to the dealer to follow up? I would really like to know what the differences are between the GT and V6 clusters.... other than the speedo.
I may have time in the coming week to get it in to the dealer. The only thing I was concerned about was the GT has a V8 and mine is a V6 so the tachometer calibration should be off. But Ed at the Millennium Ford said he believed that it was not a problem, it would be set to the car on their upload. And as I said I plugged in the GT cluster and started the car and the tachometer showed the idle speed the same as stock (not that it would be off much at idle). and that was without getting it reprogrammed. The only real issue is that the GT's must all have TC and ABS, so the message center and warning lights told me mine wasn't working... But my '05 does not have the ABS or TC and it did have the wiring for the info center switch.
Am I the first person to get a GT cluster for a V6?

Just upgraded dash to my color !! I got it at Millium ford Ed on line price. The total price with tax and install 382.00 $100 labor with re-flash switch $30 cluster $236 plus shipping. I did not need core deposit since they installed. I can't believe all the functions the up-grade has. system check, that checks brakes,coolant,oil ect. The dash colors are great also, I like that I get a lighted switch in the dash that fills that plastic plug, it looks more finished. Ed is great to deal with, I recommend him to anyone. I think it is worth the $$, but my wife thinks I have lost my mind.
(PS. My wife says the same thing with every other mod that I Done !!)

im glad your happy with it somtimes its hard to explain to the guys just all the extra features it has. also people keep calling it the cluster. basicly pop out the blank plug to the left of the power plug above the radio. if the blank plug has a plug and wires pluged into it (for storage) you have the nessisary wire for the upgrade. the big question is still the speedo and tach calibration if you feal you need the 140 (GT) cluster. i myself never see myself going that fast as i am a parent of 4 and like living too much. but hey to each his or her own. just please dont do it in my town .
I know alot of you have done this to a V6 but will it work with a GT also. I have a Premium but it did not have the IUP option. This is awesome b/c I didn't like the silver dash but I really want the my color options. Great info btw

So if i wanted to order it for my car it would be the one from that link that is the 4.0L w/ message center for the miles til empty and all that good stuff.
But what i noticed was thats just the cluster where is the my color add on cluster? It doesnt say anything about that, i know someone said it before but can you only get that through the dealer?

i took the blank switch plate off and I have the wire harness there. This might be dump on my part considering I already have a GT but I always wanted to know if it could be changed.

yes the gt and the v6 are the same as far as upgrading . if you have the wires your good. you just need to order the gt unit. the main diffs are (again) v6 or gt and MPH or KPH your dealer can do all of this and if you have a good rep with them . it good because you wont have the core charge. otherwise go with ED he is very helpful and has fair prices on this , he has been helping with this upgrad from the begining. also the message center units to my knowage all come with the my color. plus dont forget the switch.

Congrats amystery2u on your cluster upgrade! I too took afixer's advice and took the plunge! I don't use the color change much but I am loving the info center! The MPG mode is totally accurate saddly, I'm only getting 16-17 mpg strickly city
I've read through this thread several times and there are few questions I didn't see the answer to -
1 - I see Y2Kford as the big seller, but how much does the dash cost from a regualr dealer? Has anyone found out?
2 - What exactly needs to be flashed, and how do I ask my dealership what I'm looking for when I go in?
3 - Has anyone experienced any warranty headaches with this? Logically I can't see how it would affect it, but I had GM try to void a warranty before because of a CAI. A console swap is slightly more invasive and deals with the odo.
Well I HAVE a new GT cluster and as soon as I have time I'll get it installed. I know the tachometer/speedo/gauges work as is, but I am not sure of the tachometer calibration yet. Y2K Ford isn't the only place that offers this or at this price, but they're closer to me than some of the other dealers who offer on-line sales. If you look around you'll find other dealers around the country that use the same on-line software to market to the internet community. The only other one I checked out had the same basic prices for their parts. And when I did a big order I did order it from an out of state dealer to not pay taxes along with the shipping.
I have been assured that there will be no problem using the GT cluster in a V6. I've not had time to get it to the dealer so they can do the data transfer.

bonkers your driving me bonkers LOL 1. any ford dealer can sell this to you some ask more than others . as far as price , pick up the phone and call! 2. the cpu modual gets flashed you need to order the cluster with the milage on your car as it comes from the factory with that info burned into it. its a simple 10 min deal. 3. its a dealer install so warentee is ok.
hope that helps ! sorry about the price but they all seam to sell them for diff prices. dont forget you need the switch also.
I have read with interest the posts regarding the upgrade from the 4 gauge to 6 gauge instrument cluster. when I called my local ford dealer they said no such option (they useless whenever I ask questions about my 05 GT). Since many of you have done this upgrade if you have a part number for the 6 gauge cluster it would help me with the dealer as I would really like this upgrade. Thanks to anyoon who can help.

So the upgraded V6 cluster does not have 6 gauges? I'm confused. I thought the only difference between the V6 and the GT cluster was the speedo was higher on the GT. I also figured the tach would be off on the V6 when using the GT tach, but is there any way to fix that??

Flapjack, The interior upgrade gauge cluster has speedo, tach, fuel, water, oil, amp. My color plus other colors and info center. The IUP also includes aluminum dash panels, shiny rings on the speedo/tach/air vents, scuff plates and an aluminum badge on the floor mats. Sounds like a good deal for the gauges/info center. Interior upgrade is $460 on my window sticker.

Cool. I guess the only question left is if the GT tach works correctly or not. If you order through Y2K Ford, they do the flashing for you so you don't need to go to the dealer.
