tuner recommendation (cluster swap)

Looking for some recommendations for a tuner. I am attempting to swap a 2014 cluster with track apps into my 2011 5.0. apparently I didn't do my research well enough because I just realized I need to reflash my PCM to the 2013 strategy to make my cruise control work.

So far I have reached out to Redliners performance and have not been able to make contact on the phone or through email. I called American muscle and spoke with them and they said this is not even a tuning issue, I need to talk to a dealership.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a tuner who can take care of what I need? other than the cluster all I have for performance mods are a catback and a steeda CAI sitting in a box waiting to go on. I am not sure what changes there are for the tune from 11-13 but I am not comfortable just reflashing the PCM and running it. Someone please tell me if I am wrong.

Tune won't help, you will likely need to contact a dealer. The module that works with the dash is not the same as what is modified when doing an engine tune.

You can probably also swap out that module from a newer car that is similarly equipped to yours.

I have a VCM and plan on flashing the PCM to the 2013 strategy. I read several times in the sticky that people had to get tunes then to make their cars run properly with the updated PCM. if there is a module I can just swap out that would certainly make it easier

Verify with AED or Lund. As I understand it if your are on the stock tune at the moment you should be fine on the 2013 stock tune. Its people with heavily modified cars that need them tune again, example people with intake w/ larger size maf tubes, larger injectors etc.
