Speedo stepper motor is wonky. Mine went a couple of years ago. Too old & too many klicks to be covered by the TSB unfortunately.

My dealer did mine a bit back under the TSB. I had to de-program so that the speedo calibration would be back to factory when I brought it in - but other than that - no hassle at all.

Looks like this happens to a lot of the GMT800's. It happened to my dad (2003 Silverado) and it happened to me (2004 Sierra). :thumbs:

Why does my GM Dealer said they will not replace it without me paying $125 for diagnostics and if it is ths instrument cluster then they will not charge me? I am afraid if it is not failed all the time they can not find the problem and I'm out $125. any ideas?

You don't have much of a choice. They'll be able to duplicate the problem during their test. Sometimes you gots to pay to play.

I had mine replaced earlier this year because of noise coming from IP. I went to a GMC dealer and they ordered me a new one and chrage me nothing to put it in. I also heard that GM extended this recall to trucks that have over 70k miles, but only catch is they would charge you labor in that case. Why they wanted to charge you a diagnose fee does not make sense. There is a recall with the IP and it is covered. Try going to another dealer, thats what I would do.

I ran into the same problem. They confirmed that I had a defective cluster with the vin but since I was slightly over the 70,000 mile mark they wouldn't replace it. After arguing they said they needed to run the diagnostics at my cost and then they would discuss a possible split of the $700 replacement cost. I told them to bite it hard and got a stepper motor from ebay for $10 and replaced it. Easy cheap fix.

Check e-bay. There are several cluster rebuilders over there that

will do the job for less than $200.

 

Thats is you don't want to do the stepper motors yourself.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
