Were did you get the cluster at

Ebay seems to be a good route for most, but there's always the risk of getting screwed. I took a gamble on one labeled as a sierra cluster, but the part number and vehicle fitment was for a denali. It came and it was from a denali. The cluster was like, really dirty, I was a little skeptical that chris would say it didn't work or something (always my luck). But, says shipped so hopefully all is well.

 

If you hunt, you can find them. Also Yukons for the same year work, just confirm with chris if you are concerned. I found my cluster for $100, but it seems the going rate is around $200. 

 

The only thing I can't seem to find is another lens. I guess I'll have to carefully take off my old one. I dont think they sell the lens seperate, but I could be mistaken. if anyone has that part number please share!!

There is definitely a risk buying used. I bought mine used on eBay as well. Aside from the condition or actual vehicle they reported it came out of, there is also a risk that the seller could have installed it into another vehicle, causing tamper flags to be set in the cluster, without disclosing that information.

I see MANY, MANY FB posts of people saying “look at my new cluster, it was Plug and Play”, then you see dashes for the mileage... Why?? Because they didn’t get Chris to program it. Then they say “it was plug and play but my mileage doesn’t show”. Without knowing what they’ve just done... then we see the same people trying to sell their cluster to someone else.

I was lucky to not be in the situation.

When I decided to get the Blue Cluster for 2016, I bought one new and didn’t want to roll the dice a 2nd time.

I can supply new clusters at a discounted price if anyone is interested.

As mentioned previously please keep the sales stuff out of this thread; thanks.

I’m attaching photos of my dash, steering wheel and radio to determine if the Denali instrument cluster would work with my truck.

Yes, that's the one that I have.

You’ve been asking and we’ve been listening. Granted it took longer than anyone would have liked we are changing up our operations a bit to hopefully make things easier on everyone; especially the consumer!

 

While most don’t know we have run the commercial side of our business during the week and the consumer side on the weekends as basically two separate entities and methods of communication. This has led to traditionally very happy third party resellers with their private branded products but also some unhappy consumers finding it hard to contact us outside of our consumer weekend business hours.

 

That all changes today. 

 

Effective immediately we have merged our two communications channels and will be taking correspondence every day while we fine tune this. Please keep in mind it may take some time to get to inquiries now but rest assured we’ll do our best to get to each and every one as soon as humanly possible; please keep in mind we also need time to process orders J

 

Also we are adding two more consumer processing windows to our weekday operations in addition to our weekend processing days; Monday’s and Thursday.

 

So what does this mean to you? 

 

How we are handling the weekday consumer orders is basically if you are shipping in something that does not inhibit you using your vehicle (such as a Denali instrument cluster upgrade for example) please ship immediately after ordering as arrival day doesn’t matter as much. We will in turn process the unit as fast as the current workload allows but nine times out of ten no later than the following weekend. Full custom items e.g. Escalade cluster retrofits may take longer than one weekend as they are very labor intensive. 

 

For items that could potentially make driving your vehicle more difficult/full custom/rush orders you will still need to setup an appointment with us just to make sure we are all on the same page and can get to your order in a timely manner.

 

We are also looking into the idea of possibly using other avenues of communication for our consumer market as well e.g. iMessage etc.

 

I cannot stress enough how much we appreciate your continued support as we celebrate our 15thyear in business!!

Hi Chris,

I just received back my replacement cluster, thank you for the quick turnaround.

I do have one question, I am no longer seeing the lane departure icon on the new screen and the forward collision alert / auto braking warning does not seem to be working.

Is this cluster related?

Please contact us from our website however its likely the system just needs to be turned back on by pressing the button.

Does anyone know if the stock cluster can be reinstalled back into the truck after the new Denali cluster has been programmed and installed?  Not that I foresee a reason to ever switch back to stock, but I'm just curious if it would work.  I'm guessing no, but I thought I'd ask.  I bet only one part number can be attached to each VIN.

    • You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater
    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • That computer lies!
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
