Default Instrument cluster swop

Hi all,

I have an 04 Express 6.0 without tach.
Is it possible to swop the cluster into a model with this tach?
I don't know if the ecu sends this information already in my model...

THX
Dirk

How about an old android phone/tablet, torque app, and a OBDII adapter?

Someone here tried a Topkick instrument cluster and couldn't get it to work 100%.

I already use an app on my phone. But I would like to keep the original style, if possible…

The app has a few advantages, but I like to see the tach when I look in front of me

You should online search cluster reprogramming services. Many already post videos on YT. Sometimes people will have their clusters reprogrammed to accurately reflect the vehicle mileage, while some clusters need the VIN correct to not throw error codes. The reprogramming service will verify comparability.
