I won an 03 cobra instrument cluster on eBay for an excellent price. Now, I have to figure out how hard it is to install it on my 01 cobra. Any help?

You have to disable pats or the car won't start and run a vacuum line for the boost gauge to work.
How can I disable the pats? Also, how do I get the correct mileage?

Not sure on the milage but I think you would have to order the cluster from ford. Pats you would have to get a custom tune to turn it off.
You could also swap the brains of your old cluster onto the face of the 04 Cobra's. It would keep PATS and your milage the same and just use the faces of the 04 gauges.
How would I do that, I thought the wiring was completely different? Any write ups on this?
On my '02 GT it was easy and you are still plugging the wiring into the same plugs however as mentioned the boost gauge will change things. I swapped an 01 cobra cluster onto my 02 gt, the redline, speedo and tach were off but the cluster still read the same milage.
Forgot about the boost gauge with my first post so that is one thing I don't know how to overcome.
I've seen the write up on mustang evolution. I'm wondering if it will work the same? The 03 cobra has indigo lighting so the wiring might now work. Also, the boost gauge just needs a vacuum line ran to the motor.
Anymore on this?
PM competition he put the 03/04 cluster in his 2001 a few years ago...
I thought mileage was in the cars computer? I could be wrong tho
I'll ask around I called coastal dyno and they said I'd have to disable the pats system but it still would read the correct mileage. I've heard there's ways around disabling the pats.
cluster
any more info on this other than the pats issue

I was wondering how could I test this cluster? If i do it will set off the pats and when it does do I just disconnect the battery?
I have tested them buy just plugging them into the car. The mileage will be the mileage from the cluster I know that. I am interested in where this goes I want to do the same with my Mach 1
Just PM competition he swapped his 01 cluster with an 03/04. He will answer all your questions...
I can't find that name
I ended up testing it for the first time. I'd get the pats disabled at coastal dyno down the street but, I'd rather get my 03 cobra mirrors and side scoops painted first.
