Might have more luck posting in the next generation's subforum dealing with 99-06. Not sure how much that one is frequented though.

There are at least two generations of T800 clusters. First design was 99-02. 03-07 used a different cluster than the first design trucks. I'm not positive that the 99 cluster can be used on 00-02 vehicles...
I thought the PCM or BCM got its' mileage info from the cluster so once you plug in the new cluster and mate it to the system the controller will have the mileage from the new cluster.
If you have a record of the mileage from the old cluster... There are tools that that will allow you to adjust the mileage to match the old cluster. They aren't cheap.
The tool to re-program clusters is not inexpensive. I'd get the original cluster repaired and swap it back in or take it to a speedometer repair outfit and get the replacement odometer matched to the old one. You may be able to horsetrade the old cluster for the odometer match.
