'04 Escalade instrument cluster in a '04 silverado

Chad H · January 23, 2004

Hey guys,

I just got done installing my 2004 Cadillac Escalade instrument cluster in '04 silverado. It was a direct bolt in and plugged right in. Even the tranny temp gauge works. Your milage is reset but who cares. But, the big question was if the instrument cluster held your memory seats and other things. The answer is, no it doesnt. The milage is the ONLY thing you lose. The ecu keeps track of all your features that you programmed. So all in all, it looks great and works perfect. Oh, and it even keeps up with your engine oil life, you dont lose that either.

I am going to change out my cluster in my 04 also. I got on the Cadillac web site and was looking at the cluster that comes in the 04 Cadillac Esclade ESV (platinum edition). It is different from the regular Esclade clusters it has chrome rings around each guage. My only thing is I have not located anyone who sells it, accept for the dealer. Who did you buy yours from?

I recently installed a new Escalade cluster in my '04 Silverado. Everything works just like Flodine said. The look is much, much, much nicer!!! The white needles, everything looks very classy.

It took all of 10 minutes to install. Remove trim, four screws, a plug and that's it. Kind of scary that mileage can be deleted that easily.

Anyway, I got mine from www.extremefactoryfx.com they were an absolute PLEASURE to deal with and had the best prices that I've found. I mentioned I needed it about 4 days from when I ordered it. They said it would make it no problem with UPS ground, but when the forwarded me the tracking number, they had upgraded me free of charge to UPS second day air!!!

I got it off Ebay from them and paid $260 plus $10 shipping. Did the Buy it now! deal.

Dont you just love that tranny temp gauge and how the cluster looks bad-ass.

A dealer should be able to correct the displayed milage. The truck's milage is also in the computer.

I'm looking into the same so can you show me a picture with your instrument panel lit-up along with the CD player and AC controls? I want to see the contrast please.

Thanks.

Just something to think about, when I got my new cluster programmed I forgot to tell them to transfer the hours too. Not a big deal, but it kinda sucks now. So get them to transfer the hours

when I get my cluster I will post some pics of it, I ordered a h2 white gauge cluster. even going to pay to have my milliage transfered over to the new cluster.

Are the Escalade numbers situated lower on the gage cluster? Right now, to be at a comfortable distance from the steering wheel, my viewing angle causes the speedometer to be partially blocked from my view. I could use the numbers a bit lower.
