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. :loser:

 

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.

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

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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff".

      The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
