Have 08 with 4 gauges, can I upgrade to 6?

As I just bought a left over new 08, I didn't have all that much to choose from in silver and manual trans. So what I bought pretty much has everything I wanted but the 6 gauge pod that comes with interior ungrade package. (Can't believe a GT Premium doesn't come with all the gauges!!) Did some searches and found nothing on this. Is it feasible or possible to upgrade to the 6 gauge pod in place of my 4 gauge pod? Anybody do this? Cost? Any info on this appreciated!

Click here for a great right up on making the swap, including pricing and parts needed. Our service department just did one a few days ago for a customer. You need to order a new Instrument Cluster (VIN specific and mileage has to be verified by a shop to place order), and you'll need the 3-button cluster (info/select/reset).

Five Oh Brian, thank you very much!! Guess I'll need to do some serious reading with a thread of over 18 pages. At least it is doable, all depending on your dealership I guess. Anyway, thanks much for the link, its a treasure trove of info.

Five Oh Brian. RE your signature. "V6 Pony Grille and Foglamps" on a GT? Suckering GTs and others to race maybe? Ha

Just wanted to give the forum some positive feedback. I got in touch with Mr. Kevin Casey, the parts manager at Clevenger Ford in Porterville, Ca, and he is certainly the guru on this gauge upgrade issue (fron two to four). Did the first swap on his awesome GT500 some years ago and has been advising literally hundreds of folks all over the U.S. on this issue since. Really nice guy and knows his stuff. Anyway I was fortunate enough to live close to his dealership and he ordered the correct gauge package for me and switch and I had his service dept install them for me last week. Everything works perfectly (all gauges, message center and my color) and am really pleased with it all. I certainly recommend you get in touch with him if you are considering this upgrade. My 08 had the pigtail behind the dummy switch so it was almost plug and play. Here's his email address. Clevparts@aol.com He also sells lots of Steeda, Rousch and other Stang parts over the internet. While I was there, I also bought a Ford Racing front strut tower brace. Anyway, just wanted to put in a good word for him (no I get no discounts for this, just happy to pass on good stang info to a great group).
