Default ?'s about 01 dodge insturment cluster

If I change the instrument cluster will my odometer still read the same? Will I run into any other problems changing the cluster? And will a cluster from a 2000 work in my 01? I'm asking because i did an auto to manual swap and I found a manual trans instrumet cluster.

I am pretty sure that the milage is stored in the cluster have had to replace quite a few on customers vehicles over the years and would have to send the old one in so the new ones could be programmed with the correct mileage, My dad just had to have his cluster replaced in his siverado and thats what had to be done. I know its chevy vs dodge but pretty sure same principle though.

I agree,the mileage is stored in the instrument cluster,this goes for all models with a digital mileage.Its has to be program by a GT1 computer.
