Digital Dash retrofit install?

[NavyChief]

I’ve been looking but a specific question I had was I picked up a VIN I use from a platinum truck to get pieces for my truck to upgrade things like putting the console in but I priced the full digital dash and the dash plus bezel was not too bad.
my question is does it make a difference if the other truck is an eco boost and I’m the 5.0? Anything else needed other than the bezel and cluster?
I’m still on the fence as I like my cluster but my mustang is full digital and seems cool too.

I think the real issue is not the change of motors but going from a mixed analog/digital cluster to all digital. In addition to the cluster itself, you’ll likely need a new IPC module and a whole lot of reprogramming. Not for the faint of heart. I’d reach out to @Jesse-Infotainment before going too far down the road with this project.

I'm like 70% sure the Gauge cluster itself is the IPC? Yes, that was a self-question, haha.

Pretty sure it's just a straight swap. The hard part is getting the Odometer and engine hours loaded. That usually has to be done by @Livnitup https://www.clustersbylivnitup.com/

Jesse's work also sells this specific conversion, as well as the 8"https://www.infotainment.com/collec...ometer-cluster-upgrade?variant=39669738831908

That’s a good question. I can’t tell whether the gauge cluster and the IPC are the same from the shop manual. What appears to be the electronics part of the IPC clips onto the back of what the manual describes as the “lens.” Can’t tell if the lens is just the plastic protector, the LCD display, both and whether you buy them separately or as a integrated unit. I had assumed that the IPC was similar to the APIM in that the module and the display were separate parts but that might not be correct.

Well that’s what I was thinking was must the mileage and hours etc.
I just have a way to get the cluster so was checking before I did too much.
