I did have him check the cluster and it did come up with an instrument cluster fault.
Unless it goes away with more driving I would assume I need to replace my cluster. There are several on eBay. Do I just buy one from a 4.4 then get it reprogrammed at the dealer? How much does it cost to get reprogrammed?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry can't contribute more on what might be causing the fault or if you can use a used cluster or not. Might want to ask weasel or killcrap.
However, when Justin and I swapped clusters it was fairly easy. I think the dealer could do it in about 15 minutes. Basically, the cluster info. is read, then swap clusters, then the info. is entered into the new cluster. We used a laptop GT1 to do it.
Dealer should only charge you for 1 hour but I have a feeling they're going to ask for more than that. I don't know if they charge a set rate/amount depending on the work like other brand dealers do or not.
