Default Gage issues

Gawd is there anyone on this page who has ever experienced an issue with their odometer flashing and all gages not working?
Problem started on Saturday a week ago when I changed the SCT tune to compensate for pinging while pulling a heavy load. The truck acted different than ever before in the program progress and made a funny ding as it completed the final step. Truck ran fine as I drove 20 miles home and just as I got into my driveway it died. The dash dinged and the gages dropped to zero, and the ABS, Brake, Fuel, and seatbelt lights came on. A couple of tries and the truck started long enough to park it. Then it would not restart. I heard the ASD, (auto shutdown) relay clicking furiously and presumed that my fuel pump had finally failed me and that maybe the flashing had killed my PCM.
Fast forward a week and I changed my fuel pump and replaced the PCM with a rebuilt one. Now the truck starts and runs and drives fine.
The gages still don't work and the odometer flashes and the aforementioned lights are on. Verified all the fuses and checked the relays and the ground wire behind the battery. Pulled out all the sensors on the engine bay I could think of one by one, IAC, MAP, TPS, CPS, hoping to get the gages to working. All for not.
I did the gages self test and they passed.

If you got to this point thanks for reading and hopefully you can help me
