Cluster swap (message center)

So being as I am pretty old school, need to put in a new cluster (in a 2004 4.0L 4x4 Explorer), and I find the message center fairly annoying (and loathe TPMS) .

my question is, can I swap in a cluster without the message center? They are considerably cheaper without the message center and I really feel like I don’t need or want the feature....

Can you swap in any type of cluster? Aren't you going to have to take it to the dealer afterward for it to work?
