wOW Tyler! This makes the cluster swap feasible! Now I'm tempted. Thank you for taking the time to put all of this together

Anyone end up swapping the 08+ column and getting cruise control to work properly?

Iirc when I looked, 08+ uses can bus messages while ours uses resistors.. You will have to mod the circuit board (if I am remembering correctly at least).

of course...really want to use the new column as I have one lying around but I would hate to lose functionality of my truck, even if its something small like CC

Ok. So I'll have some huge updates soon. So far everything in my truck works minus, the cruise control, hazards, and my right blinker (only when brake is applied, no blink just "buzz" sound from column). I used a trailer brake converter to get around the dual filament bulbs, because I have aftermarket LEDs for taillights. So if anyone can help me figure it out just let me know. I think I may have a bad converter. I'll try swapping tomorrow. Also I have center console shifter installed and working flawlessly.

Is the buzzing a stuck relay? Or is it the same relay used for the left blinker

What you mean by stuck relay. It does give power the whole time when brake is applied rather than flash. But it works perfect when brake isn't applied. Left turn signal works perfectly.

Sounds like your trailer wiring converter thing.
You see that a lot with canopy third brake lights that blink with one of the turn signals.
The power from the brake light circuit is feeding power back into the turn circuit.
