Dash and Instrument Swap

I have a 05 in which I would like to replace the dash and instrument cluster with one from a 08. I bought the 08 which was a theft recovery as salvage and it has the newer style dash in it. Can anyone tell me if the wiring harness in my 05 will plug into the instruments etc. on the 08 cluster? If not I guess I have a dash for sale as well as alot of other stuff from the 08.

You realize the 2008 diesel is the 6.4L ? Not a 6.0L.
I can't imagine it would work since the computer would be totally different.

OK, thanks guys. That's kinda what I figured since the engines were different. Just thought it would be cool to have that chrome and woodgrain dash in my '05. Anybody need an '08 complete dash? I also have the complete drive line except the engine. My cell is 816 878 2882. I am in the Kansas City area. My name is Randal.
