2001 F350 7.3 Build - Swaphelper Miles correction 08-10 Cluster to 11-16 Cluster Cluster helper

all right we're going to be upgrading our 2008 to10 cluster to a 2011 to6 cluster with the screen with the menu and we're also going to be doing odometer correction on this as well all right guys so let's get back to the F350 I know it's been a while I haven't started her in a while haven't driven in a while so let's kind of jump right into it and get to work all right so I had to load up with some junk and I got to run to the dump but about a month ago or so when I started her she did have a leak that I noticed on the bottom and I think it was coming somewhere from from the valley on top and I think it's diesel I don't think it's oil but what I'm going to do right now is I'm going to do a cold start uh just to get her warmed up run to the dump and I'm going to show you guys the leak [Music] all right so I ran her to the dump and now let's take a look where the leak is dripping uh we got a little puddle here on the bottom it's uh seems like it's dripping from the back of the block somewhere and it looks like it's possibly dripping from the it looks like it's possibly dripp draining it looks like it's dripping from the drain valve let me get a flashlight and we're going to take a look a little bit closer all right let's see we have some dripping here goes into the valley and then it's dripping on the back of the valley down the block and yep it's the I'm pretty sure it's one of the O-rings let me look from the from a different from a different side I'm almost 100% sure it's the one of the O-rings on the drain on the drain valve especially with diesels if you don't use them too much you know they start drying out and I don't drive I don't drive this truck that much so yeah we got some dripping here yeah it's either one of the Rings there's I think there's two or three O-rings on the drain valve and I'm pretty sure it's one of them that got maybe dried out and starting to leak and we got a puddle here on the bottom dripping right behind the block and here we go yes so I have to fix that I got to order the O-rings and get that fixed so while we wait for the O-rings uh to come in let's jump in on the cluster so a quick recap I got the dash it was a 2020 Dash it was a manual Dash with the cluster and everything manual and this is the cluster that it came with the 20110 Dash the miles was 170 I don't know 174 76 around there so it was higher than my truck my truck has 138,000 Mi so when I got this uh I installed it kind of temporar and then I started looking on eBay for another one so this is a 2010 so then I bought a 20 uh 2011 11 to 15 cluster it had it had 138,000 Mi on it which is exactly what my truck has but it doesn't have the screen uh with all the options and stuff and I can make the pretty much the buttons work and the new cluster to work with the menu screen so that's why uh I'm not going to use this one I'm going to use a different one and I finally ended up with a 11 to 15 cluster with the screen so I'm going to have all the options uh and then later I do have a steering wheel I just got to swap over the buttons and make the steering wheel work and all that stuff so uh that's for a different episode for but on this episode uh the miles were off on this cluster so Lewis from SWAP Helper and Now is offering miles correction service so when you go to swap cort.com there's a miles correction service you send it in and that's exactly what I did I sent my cluster in to him and within I think two two three days he was able to correct the miles to match my truck and then he shipped it back to me because when I bought this cluster it had 115,000 Mi on it my truck has 138 so I don't want to be you know misleading anybody so that's why I sended it to him and he corrected it to 138 to match my truck so now let me quickly show you what you need to do to go from the 2010 8 to1 cluster 21 25 cluster by using the swap helper.com cluster helper basically what you do on this if you're going to use 8 to 10 cluster you put put in this port and if you're going to use 11 to 16 cluster you put it on top so I was using 8 to 10 so I had in this port and I'm going to swap swap it over to 11 to 16 and now it's ready to use the 11 to 16 cluster and there's one more thing that you need to do uh inside the truck and then you can pretty much Plug and Play the 11 to 16 if you're going to use uh 8 to 10 cluster ground one ground but if you're going to use 11 to6 you got to ground both of the grounds so basically I just kind of connected them together grounded to the same point on the bracket that I made for the fuse box underneath the the steering column so basically the module comes with the bracket that mounts to the original two holes right here then you mount the module right here you plug it in like so and then we're going to put it back in the truck I still got my Boost wires that I got to run let's see all right like that and then we're going to try to plug this in and we should get a blue light blue status LED light okay we got a blue light right there no wires pinching all right here we go all right now let's see what we get [Music] okay we got our little menu we got our miles matching the truck is working all the lights are on now I don't have my buttons connected on the steering wheel n of these buttons are connected yet because uh I'm going to be actually redoing the steering wheel to the newer one and I'm going to be swapping over the buttons and making them work on both sides so I can go through the menu but so far we're good and then I'm going to run our wires to the boost gauge and it's going to show me uh PSI over here on the on the dash on the cluster all right so on the next episode we're going to be switching our stock 2001 headlight switch with the 11 to6 headlight switch and we're going to be using uh the swap helper headlight uh module to make that work because you can't just really Plug and Play you can't just solder the wires in you need the swap helper module to make this work and that's going to pretty much F fit in here nicely that's going to be stock looking and then I'm going to finish up the other panels up here because I still going to have to do some wiring for this because it does come with the whole the whole kit the instructions and everything so that's going to be some wiring involved so we're going to put that for our next episode and then in the episode after that we're going to be dealing with the steering wheel with the buttons and the harness and we're going to get these buttons to work with the cluster um screen so we're going to get that done and then we're going to tidy up the whole dash and finish all that up but first things first I'm going to go ahead and order the O-rings for the fuel bowl uh drain valve especially with the diesel trucks uh if you don't dry them for a while which I wasn't uh the O-rings just start to dry out so I'm going to go ahead and get that done uh fix the leak and then we're going to start working on the steering wheel on the headlight Helper and uh tidy up the inside and do more more mods to the truck all right guys so thanks for watching and we'll see you next one [Music] he
