Since you have an '04 with less than 70k. You're covered by GM because you meet the criteria. Tell him to look this up and read it very carefully......

Yes, I just took it to the stealership on Dec. 28 for the gage cluster recall (3 days before the 7 year cut off). They scanned the truck and said they will order the part and replace it for free. I would be going 75 mph and the speedo would just slowly trickle down to 0 mph after a couple of start-ups it would be fine. A couple of weeks ago the whole gage cluster stopped working for 2 days then just started functioning again. Thats when I took it to the dealer.
