hey, first time poster here,

 

 

I have tried to search for this answer but was not able to find what i'm looking for.

 

I have a 99 Gmc Sierra(NBS) and my cluster at times does not work(the tach/speedo sticks) and i have to hit the top of the dash for the needles to work again. I have been looking on ebay for a replacement for my truck, and this is my question.

 

I know from here that the 1999-2002 clusters will work in my truck from chevy/gmc trucks and large suv's. But my question is on the air bag light. Does this problem only happend if you get the guage with the transmission temp guage. Or does it happend with any cluster that is not 1999 specific? If it does happen no matter what, is there a way to fix it, besides removing the airbag light. I would think if there was a problem with the airbag that light would flash letting you know, and nothing with should up on the message center light

 

Many thanks on this.

The air bag light problem has nothing to do with weather or not the cluster has the trans temp gauge. The problem occurs when you use a 2000-2002 cluster in a 1999. All the clusters and all the trucks have the sensors and wiring for the trans temp gauge but some just lack the actual gauge in the cluster. The circuity for the air bag light was changed in 2000, that is why the problem exist.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
