Cluster fk
If you have an 04-06, get a cluster from one of those years. 07-08 has TPMS and those previous years don’t. Since you have a base model truck, you have manual ac. Make sure said cluster of also from a donor truck that had manual ac. If you get a lariat cluster or something else high end, your ac will no longer function.
If you have an 07-08, stick with the same rules and also with a cluster from those two years only.

ive lived with the same issue for a few years. After spending a bunch of time looking into it, it seemed either not possible or not worth the time and money.

Get a can of compressed air (keyboard cleaner) and unhook the 2 plugs on the top of the cluster and blow out all the connectors real good. Plug it back in and see if it's working. If not there could be a problem with that cluster. You may be able to have it flashed at the dealer, but try cleaning the connections first.

I took it the same way. And he should be fine as long as he used a XLT or FX cluster. Not sure how long the new cluster has been sitting collecting dust. Too much dust and dirt in the connections can cause it to not work properly.

If he has an XL or STX that didn’t come with those factory options, they won’t just work if the new cluster has them.
