Whit, do a cluster test just for ***** and giggles...

Hold the trip button while you turn the key to run and let it do its thing till it chimes to tell you its done. If nothin else you get to watch the needles move all over and all the digital stuff light up...

Yeah as you said you hold the trip button turn the key and hold the button till it says check on the odometer then you can let off and once it looks like its all done start the truck, dont turn off the key then start just start it and it will carry on the test. I just went and did this thinking that my tach was broken and all seemed to check out.

Also, the odo should spit out some other codes, related to the cluster. Stuff the scanner usually won't pull.
