Are all the dashes on 03+ full size GM vehicles the same. That is to say, i could take an 05 Caillac escalade dash and swap it into my 06 silverado with no modifications, or suburban or any such combination??


TIA,

you have to programe the new gauge kit to your truck. put milage, hours, and truck type into it.

no! The PRND321 display is different. You have a PRNDM1 display and the different software in the IPC that allows the manual mode to be supported. Plus it would need to be flashed for a diesel.

You would also need a tech 2 to link it with your truck's computer.

IIRC, 01-02 share most electronics, 03-04 share, and 05-07classic share, at least for clusters.

01-02 share

03-05 share (however 05 had a new OS in the cluster that changed some DIC options, but still itnerchangable)

06-07 share

well you can keep your orig. speedo cluster and put the Escalade pieces on the dash if you dont want to get into the electronic mess

Come now Ben... i know that!! Im just looking at swapping the dash, handle, and dash bezel. I wouldn't touch my sweet stainless cluster ;)

So an 04 escalade dash will fit in my 06 then...
