Default ls1 cluster in a lt1 car need help asap

my car now has a ls1 pcm in place of the ltx pcm and cluster. Can I just bolt the cluster in the dash and have 0 issues or will have some?

What is there to expect with issues if any?

thanks

Year? LS1 clusters will not work on LT1 cars. What is your reason on replacing the cluster? You are using the 24x system correct?

It's going to take a dash swap if I'm not mistaken. Pretty sure they are shaped different. Also some repinning of the back of the harness that plugs into the cluster.

I did a ls1 dash swap in my car recently however, I used the original LT body harness due to running the LT engine and pcm still. Only thing I did was re-pinned the cluster plug with a ls style. Not sure if this helps you though. If so I do have the diagram to re-pin and shows the connections for lt and ls. Good luck and let me know if I can help....

Well I have the 00 cluster and dash. SO I wanna put this in my lt1 bodied car. It has a ls1 pcm so I dont think there should be much of a issue.

Did you splice into the original body harness or did you go all out and switch everything over?
