Correct. The truck the cluster came from had the auto climate controls in seems. You cannot use clusters from those trucks in trucks that have manual hvac controls.

Why did you swap? Did you not have a tach and we're trying to add one or was your old one broken?

The cluster came into play because tons of stuff is controlled through it and they are not all interchangeable. Must have the same features. 08 knows more about this than me but I do know what I have stated above is true for like he said 06 to 08 trucks.

You could always go the rest of the way and swap in EATC. Its not as hard as I expected.
