Does the EVIC cluster have to be from the same year truck or will any 2009-2012 cluster work?
Thanks!

I would recommend finding one from the same year. Mine came from an 09, and there are some functions that they added in 10 that I do not have. There also seems to be some difference with how the ERS (Electronic Range Selection or manual shifting of the transmission) is controlled since mine does not function with the EVIC cluster installed, but works fine with the standard cluster back in. Others who have done this swap and used a cluster from the same year have not had this issue.

I got it put on, but decided I didn't really want to mess with the light, so I left it without.

Thanks Cory!

I think I found a part number for the cluster (56046300AG - for the KPH one) - it ranges from $210-300 new if that seems right. Trying to find a part number for the steering wheels but there are so many I have no clue which one is right haha!
I wonder how hard it would be to connect the heated steering wheel if I put that in?

 

[NMRam]

I am not sure on part numbers since I got mine at a wrecking yard. I just got the ones that looked right, and the cluster that had the closest mileage to mine (almost identical). I would imagine that the heated steering wheel might work if you figured out how to wire it up, although you might need to have more sales codes added to get the computer to recognize it is there.

I did some checking on the steering wheel and it's not a good option to buy new haha. The wheel itself is about $220 but it doesn't come with ANY of the buttons/switches... so would have to buy ones for the EVIC, the audio and the cruise.

Wrecking yard is def the best option when on a budget. Did they have any left at the one you went to?

 

[NMRam]

They had one more, but it was missing the buttons. It was leather wrapped, which I would have preferred, but the plastic one I ended up with was complete.
