Can I swap a 2000 Silverado 2500hd gauge cluster into a 2003 Silverado 1500? The only thing I can see different is the connection comes out the top of the cluster on the 2500 instead of the back and the dic across the bottom. I'm asking because I grabbed off craigslist for $75 thinking it would work but as soon as I plug it in I get 3 dings and nothing on the cluster lights up/moves.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No these are incompatible.

 

03-05 are directly compatible but if you have steering wheel controls or Auto HVAC you will need to get it married to other CPUs. 06-07 classic may also work with an 03 but the cluster looks different mainly the PRND321 display. Don't know the year of your truck but a 2003 cluster isn't compatible with an 06-07.

 

What's wrong with your cluster, it is often cheaper to fix your cluster than to by a junkyard one.

The lights are going bad one by one and the Speedo steeper motor is shot reading over 120 mph all the time and does not return to zero. I was looking to add the tranny temp mine is a 1500 w/o it.

Even if you'd put an HD cluster in your truck the transmission temp gauge wouldn't work because it wouldn't receive the proper data from the ECU. Sounds like you should just get your Cluster repaired or refurbished. You must have someone local. So I'm sure you can get it repaired and maybe LEDed to a different colour locally for $150 USd. Get it to look like this.

I think some have had luck with the tranny temp gauge working after plugging it in on their non gauge trucks.

 

I would be inclined to get the stepper motors replaced and then add the tranny temp motor and get a new overlay. I'm betting the gauge will work.

Not if you don't have an Allison transmission, it's the only one with a temp sensor I believe... Could be wrong though, been wrong before with these trucks. Best way for you to find out is enter your VIN on a site like GMpartsGiant and search for transmission temperature sensor it will tell you if your truck has one.

If I remember correctly, I thought it might have to do with the year of the truck as well, as to whether it would work or not. It's been awhile since I had my Tahoe though.

 

Coby, I see you over on the snowblower forum as well.

The Cluster you have only fits 99-02 Trucks and 00-02 SUvs

 

03 Up Clusters will interchange from 03 -07 Classic but late 05 up have the led PRNDL but it will work with 05 down.

 

As for the trans temp from a 3/4 ton it will plug and play with any 1/2 ton truck just plug in the new cluster and you are set.

 

That works in both series of clusters.

 

If you add the stepper motor and overlay for trans temp you have a 50 50 shot of it working without programming. I have been 95% successful adding the trans temp gauge to a cluster that did not have it and did not need to program.

Can I swap a 2001 GMC Sierra gauge cluster into a 2003 GMC Sierra? 

Did you even bother reading the posts in this thread?  They CLEARLY give you the answer.

I really want to swap my 2002 gauge to a 2003, I know that doesn’t fit directly. If anyone here managed to do it, I would like to know how. 2003-2007 dash look much nicer than 2002 I even want to swap the steering wheel and the ac controls.🤙🏼

      If we actually used any significant amount of that source in the USA then I'd agree but we don't. We've had that discussion before. We drill and pump more than we use. Thing is, we sell. We export. Gas and Crude. It's more profitable so any shortage here is self inflicted and LEGAL.    I worked a gas plant that has multiple fuel sources available and I worked in the furnace and boiler plant in that facility. I'd had days we swapped fuel types four times in a twelve hour shift which isn't done on supply but on margin. Two of the fuel sources are internally generated. Tail gas and DAK, both of which are sold as well a consumed. We always had more than we needed to run the process but we chose the fuel that produced the best margin not bought at the cheapest price always. A good bit of math to that and back in the time that was done on a slide rule.     I worked the Shale Oil Semiworks of Chevron Research and CONOCO Research in Salt Lake City. That process never went into production although it was very successful. Why? Did we lack oil bearing shale? Nope. Price of crude never made the margins work. That was in the late 70's early 80's. Remember history? What was happening then was a reaction to that situation. It didn't drive it. If so then it's easy. This isn't a supply and demand thing. This is a profit and margin thing and AI rules that now.    In no refining situation that I was ever in would a bomb hitting a well anywhere in the world 'instantly' interrupt or even distress the supply. Most plants have more than a months worth of crude in the tank field and more in pumping stations. That yo-yo could play out over days, weeks and maybe months and have zero impact on plant operations. How many times has this been off and on in the last few months? These people and not stupid. These plants measure down time in hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. They are not sucking fumes or waiting on the next truckload with baited breath. Besides, as I noted, they are for the most part 'vertically integrated'. They own it from the dirt is sits in to the delivery rack and sometimes to the pump. It has a HUGE shock absorber built in. When production suffers, refining wins and when refining is winning exploration is killing. The rest of that crap in the news is a 'news cycle'. Government dipping in to reserves? Oil is stealing their milk money. There's a reason Chevron abandon Venezuela infrastructure and it had nothing to do with security of US citizens. Nationals run those plants. it has to do with MARGINS disappearing to corruption. They are in no hurry to return. Is there supply there? Oh yea. More than enough to offset what is bought in the middle east. Just isn't ???? Profitable.    We have supply. There are places in Illinois you can drive a pipe into the ground and run your homes natural gas furnace on it.    A refinery fire will gum up the supply works but not a localized war where the market is using a limited supply from. Now Europe, that's something other....

      $4.00 a gallon here now.   Diesel nearly $5.00 again.

      If we're talking futures, yes, it's speculation.   The spot price of a delivered barrel is elevated now compared to before the conflict. And that is related more to current supply/demand.

      SPECULATION on the wars effect raised prices. AI is maximizing the profit. Refining is vertically integrated.
