The last few months I have been working on my 2013 Cruze eco that had been sitting for several years. It had overheaded and got parked. I replaced the head and gasket as well as the timing chain, turbo, water pump, intake manifold, and valve cover. Not long ago I was looking a verano over in the junkyard and really prefer the instrument cluster when compared to the cruze. I pulled the cluster and reprogramed the eeprom with the bin from the eco. This leads to a few problems, the eco's menus are not present. The outside temp is wayyyy off. Now if I just move the dial face to the cruze cluster I have the issue with the speedometer. The verano dial goes to 160 versus the 140 for the cruze. Is there a way to calibrate this differently through the vin? I prefer the white needles on the verano as opposed the the orange/red for the cruze. These needles are colored in part by the LED lights on the board. I can certainly solder white LEDs on the cruze cluster in place of red. Has anybody really played around with the programing on the clusters to really be able to map it out and figure out what does what?
I started doing this but gave up when i couldn't get the crap off the chip that needs programmed with you VIN #. I do like the looks of that cluster better.
