I figured out the Forscan part. Cluster now works great!
For those who are looking at doing the same thing, here is a quick guide:
Disconnect negative battery terminal
1. Find Platinum Cluster, make sure it has less milage than your current odometer. I got one on ebay for $400 canadian
2. There are guides on removing the old cluster in this thread
3. You will need to cut a piece of the plastic support right behind the cluster (about 12" between the 2 screws that hold the dash in place), a dremel tool or similar would be handy
After the cut:

4. Install new cluster, plug is the same no issues there
5. Re-connect battery negative terminal and test the cluster before putting the dash back together
6. if all is good, secure the cluster in place using the existing screws and replace the dash trim - note, there will be a 1/4" gap at the top it's not bad, there may be a fix for this but it doesn't bother me
7. Get your Forscan and connect to the vehicle - I deleted my saved profile but not sure if this is necessary
8. Go to your IPC Configuration AS BUILT format
9. Click on Load factory AB (you must be connected to the internet)
10. Accept the warning that pops up as there will be lines missing assuming it's because the IPC has options your model may not
11. Click 'Write All'
12. Wait for it complete, power off/on the vehicle
13. Now you can edit the odometer using the Odometer write function, note you can only go up and make sure everything is correct before writing this as there is no going back
14. Some may have to adjust the fuel gauge as I had issues with the DTE and fuel level being erratic. You have to change line: 720-05-02 to ****

in as built under IPC.
Done! I was also able to add my DRL on/off option but not the outside temp...
The whole process from start to finish was an hour using a dremel tool with the flexible handle and 2 cut-off discs.
