Should just plug in from the existing harness. There's tons of clusters on eBay.

The PATS system runs through the cluster, it would have to be reprogrammed at a dealer and the proper miles on it.

The keys match the cluster that is how PATS works more or less. Technically you'd be programming the old keys for the new cluster, either way it will not bolt in and run the truck.
