Playtime98 Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Hey Logan, i do a daily search for cadillac front bumpers on ebay. I need a front bumper cover for my 98 STS, but saw this. Don't know if it is the one you are looking for. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...7979615938&rd=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 I needed a front Deville DTS fog lamp one. The rears are easy to find. Found a front DTS one about a month ago for $50.

ted tcb Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 With your new cluster, what happens to your mileage? Do you reverse the ravages of time and lower your mileage 1989 FWD Fleetwood, Silver 1995 STS Crimson Pearl on Black leather 1997 STS Diamond White 1999 STS Crimson Pearl 2001 STS Silver 2003 STS, Crimson Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted June 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 At some point in time....the cluster mileage will have to be reprogrammed. This can be done at a DELCO radio/speedometor shop. Maybe 5 minutes to do.... Yes, the car has 115k.....the 'new' DTS one is showing 25K. Hmmmmm ship now out of state? The DTS cluster DOES work. Much nicer display then the stock Deville unit.

Northstar Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Thats good to know because I might buy a rental car Deville someday. I love the look of that new cluster compared to the old one. Is it the same one as the 98+ STS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted June 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 No....I dont think its the same.....I think it is Deville specfic. Real happy with the new DTS cluster.

cadi196 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 WOW,That cluster looks really good. You happen to know how far back that cluster will go? You think it will go back to a '96 Deville? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 And here is the DTS one. You can also see the window I had to cut on the bezel for the upper reflective display to work. Also note the start up script '2001 Cadillac DTS.' This message can be programmed with a Tech 2. You can have it display any message up to 17 letters.

marty Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 while shopping for the new dhs last week, saw several DHS's with the deville digital dash! it is an option, but the question is....why? I am guessing at the end of the build cycle they ran out of analog clusters.....one guy at one dealer was surprised the DHS came that way, another dealer said they had never seen one ordered that way......

Northstar_7889 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I dont mean to interrupt this discussion but I have a question regarding the same same topic. I was wondering if anyone knows if the clusters for the 96-97 Seville's are interchangable with the clusters from the 92-97 Seville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Technically....they can be swapped in the same dash opening. But they wont work. The 92-97 have the HVAC controls as part of the cluster. 96-97 have them by the radio. Also...96-97 models used OBDII programming. Very different electrical system used versus the earlier 92-95 models. LOTS of the harness changed. I'm not saying it CANT be done. Time is $$$. How much you got?

WarrenJ Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 You can also see the window I had to cut on the bezel for the upper reflective display to work. I'm intrigued by the "window" you had to cut in the bezel. Would you care to offer details?

Logan Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 The upper part of the display.....is reflected off the cluster lens....the part that is displaying in digital '0' MPH and the condition of the trans selector PRNDSL. Its a floating display.
