I also may be a bit behind on exhisting threads already discussing this topic. Also .. is this upgradable after the fact ?
Yeah, it can be upgraded. It is costly though. Honestly, probably not worth it if the truck didn't come with it.I also may be a bit behind on exhisting threads already discussing this topic. Also .. is this upgradable after the fact ?
Do you happen to know the part number for the Rebel specific instrument cluster? Also, do you have any contact at FCA who could be contacted in a similar case?Went through this debacle and after many letters to FCA not only to there website but also hand written to HQ did I get results. I ended up splitting the cost with the dealer $750 installed. It was a nightmare to get anyone to do anything. I will give my dealer credit though, they stuck by my side until it was resolve. Not sure why a car company would role out a product like the Rebel and not put a Rebel cluster in it. I don't think Ford would have dreamt of putting in a XLT dash in a Raptor. Good luck.
The parts departments are idiots.. One said its not possible and the dealer said it is..but said the cluster was about $1300..it wasnt the Rebel cluster just a premium one.. I gave up on this idea.. Also the steps involve sending the cluster out to be programed and calibrated to your Vin and current miles, extra cost..I believe the Big Horn comes with the standard premium cluster lol..Was thinking of removing the cluster just to paint match the bezels..still a possibility.The part number should be super easy for the dealership to find.
Gravey, could you please send me some reference what I could use to prove to my dealer, that the cluster swap is actually possible (i.e. what dealer, when did the swap, contact person there, etc..)Went through this debacle and after many letters to FCA not only to there website but also hand written to HQ did I get results.

If I can get to prove that the swap was done by any other dealer, I will go back hitting the table and even ready to open a CAMVAP (Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan - sort of like the lemon law in the US) claim against FCA (that cost nothing anyway)Sounds like a load of BS. Other dealers have quoted $1100+ (as reported in the forums) to upgrade to the Rebel cluster to other contributors. The option is $195 when ordering. Might be worth a letter to FCA or Ram vs talking to your dealer.
I fear that you may not have much to stand on, though, from a legal perspective. When you buy the truck off the lot, you had an opportunity to look it over before signing. While it might be easy to claim you weren't able to check the actuals on something like the extended range fuel tank (32gal) because it's hidden, the cluster is a relatively obvious piece you had to have seen while test driving.
