Where to buy stepper motors for cluster?

8.1HD/ALLISON · February 4, 2013

Well my cluster started acting up again. Fuel level is wayyyy over the full mark. Did this one day and then went back to normal for a month. Now its way over full again. Starts the sweep at the full mark and goes down towards the bottom. I was wondering where everyone is getting their motors at? Found some on amazon for $20. Also found this guy for about 50? http://gm-stepper-motors.weebly.com/ Don't want to end up with more junk. Any help is appreciated.

I have had good luck with ebay... Just make sure they are the updated motors. You might as well do all 6, while you have it apart. Between $3 and $5 each.

I didn't pay attention to the fact it was a 2500 so he has the transmission temp. I was simply giving an opinion that I had gotten the motors off of ebay with good luck. I originally only replace 3 motors. 18 months later I was back in doing the other 3. If you look around ebay you will notice several that also send out replacement bulbs. I have done this job with and without a solder sucker ($3). With the sucker these things are super easy to do. Not bad without it, just takes a little more time. Good luck.

I am glad my 2004 is no longer with me, stepper motors, window regulators, Blend air doors, light bulbs in the radio and steering wheel. Seems like there was constant electrical issue.

I have had only 2 of your problems in my 04. I have 7 gauges as well. I had my stepper motors replaced 3 times and the bend doors fixed

Got the stepper motors in, tore cluster apart and soldered new ones, went for a drive...... and the temp guage won't work. Called vender back and found out "they had a batch of bad ones"... New one in the mail, so I get to do it again. Yay. lol

On the bright side, It sounds like your fuel gauge is working!

Ok, took back apart, replaced temp motor again. All back together and all works! Verified speedo was spot on with gps. Checked rpm and coolant temp with scan tool. Not a hard job, just takes a little time.
