Odometer Woes & a Question

The Odometer & Trip Odometer (Speedo still works) quit working on my 97 F250LD 4x4. Don't want to pay the dealer 400 bones to replace it, so I had a question - besides the obvious - does anyone know what might be wrong? - the real question is this;

If I get an instrument cluster w/ a digital Odometer (the old one is analog) and plug it in will it display the proper mileage?

- I was wondering since I know these newer vehicles keep track of the mileage in the computer...

Thanks -

is it just the light gone? there is a thread on how to repair the odometer with out replacing the whole dash it takes about a hour and cost about ten$ for supplies with a solder gun. the question is if its the light or not proably the light it could not hurt to try it it is in FAQ under Odometer.
