Default Guage cluster help

Alright I've got a 2006 stage 1 roush and for whatever reason when i bought it, it came with regular v6 gauges. At first they seem to work fine but after a couple months or so they started going crazy. They're all whacked facing completely down except the mph which is accurate MOST of the time. I called roush and they said i can not buy the gauge cluster, they dont even make them anymore. So now im thinking can i buy new insert and needles for these v6 gauges or will i have to go to ford and pay $500+ to get regular gt gauges?

You can get the stepper motors rebuilt, I think that someone on ebay does it.

Why does your Roush have a V6 cluster though? I don't recall Roush ever doing a V6. Does you MPH go to 120 or 140? If it goes to 140 then you have a 4 gauge V8 cluster, not a V6.

The cluster is going bad. New steppers for you.
They are available on eBay and you can install them yourself.
If you go new cluster as in the GT variety,
the Stealership will have to 'configure the module'
for proper operation in your V6 equipped "Roush".

Whats the # on the underhood ROUSH plaque?

Well, excuse me.
An attitude to match that V8 you gots under there

Shelby - just out of curiosity, what is the 8th entry in your VIN?

Is it N or H?
