That message indicates a loss of communication between the instrument cluster and the PCM. Either of those could be going bad or simply unplugging the PCM connectors and then reinserting them might solve the issue.

Do you have a scanner? If so, will it talk to the PCM while the No Bus message is showing?

All of your gauges are driven off of the communications bus, if there is no bus, then there is no information for the cluster to display...... If the truck runs, then, at least part of that bus is working, and the problem is between the cluster, and PCM.
