If the cluster is not 100% identical and has a matching PPV VIN and mileage the cluster will not be programmed or released for sale.

If you have connections and can get ahold of one congrats. But through normal service channels it's not happening.

I hate talking to them on the phone so I just order them online. They have to be able to charge extra for the core in the event of crash/fire/theft, so I wonder what happens if you put in your VIN and mileage for the PPV cluster you want. If I didn't have a work truck interior I would give it a try.

I just took the vin off a PPV Tahoe I saw parked in a local mall and used that to order a cluster from my local dealer. The local guy had been told he was losing his dealership so maybe he just didn't care.

I think anybody with a Tech2 and a computer can program it. Mine wasn't even programmed by a dealer.

Mine works great also. Although I did recently get a non-recurring comm error that seemed to point back to the cluster. Don't know what I'll do if the cluster dies.
