Gauge Cluster issue
Does anyone know if the gauge cluster out of one super Duty will work in another truck, just plug and play? I have a 2015 550 that the fuel gauge has quit, which is causing the truck to go into limp mode because it will not allow a regen on the DPF. This is a business truck and i need it to be rolling. There appears to be a national back order on gauge clusters from Ford. I have another truck in the fleet that I could do without so I was wondering if I could just swap the clusters would it work?

A long shot here.. But being it's a 550 I assume you have a after market bed of some sort on it. Have you checked the wiring at the tank side yet? Some after markets have pinched wires, or not properly reconnected the wires at the tank when installing beds / boxes.

Since it's partially a Ford issue - you could ask the dealer to maybe do the reprogramming for you? Maybe they would comp it. It also would eliminate the potential pinched wires issue too - assuming you don't immediately find that issue...
Just thinking out loud.
