Denali Cluster

MarkD · May 16, 2002

I have installed a denali instrument cluster in my 99 Z71.

I just had the local GMC dealer tell me that they couldn't correct the new speedo to correlate with the PCM. What do I need to do?

Before purchase, I read everywhere that a dealer would do it for about $60.

The speedo shop near me told me they need both clusters to 'transfer the mileage over'. Exactly how that is done is beyond me, that is what they get paid for I guess ;)

Most dealers sublet that type of work out to outside shops anyway.

Another option is always the trusty door jamb decal.

Their body shop has to know who does this, most dealers cannot, not certified, here in Houston, they all send it io the same guy.

does anyone know where I can send it/them? I really need to do this.

What about the door jam sticker???

anyone got a pic?

You could ask your dealer who does their speedometer work and/or check the yellow pages.

The door jamb decal is part number # 10443718

See your local parts department ;)

I have been looking into this. I have asked NY state DMV.

They say that if I get the mileage adjusted on the replacement cluster from a service like Palo Alto Speedometer

, or another outfit that fixes electronic odometers, it is ok. I have been thru 3 replacement clusters while my dealer has been on a bug hunt for the service 4wd light. ( It seems to be

the autotrack switch, but these guys are slow.....

Anyone got any contact info?

Anyone got a pic of the door jam sticker (prefer to avoid if possible)?

Thanks!

Contact info? Check the yellow pages for speedometer repair shops...

Check various dealers, they all have the speedo number in their rollodex for clusters that they have to replace in collision/warranty work.

MarkD · May 20, 2002

The guy at GMC said they have to be set at the "factory".

I live in a relatively small town (50,000 people). We don't have any Speedo shops in the yellow pages.

gandolphxx is right, check with your dealer and find out who does there work.

what if you just put the new cluster in your self wouldnt it read the miles on your truck or just go back to zero?

It will start at zero, the real issue is when you try to trade/sell the vehicle.

vortec4800 · May 21, 2002

From what I understand, the milage is stored in the cluster and in the truck computer, so when you replace the cluster it goes back to zero - but does the tally in the truck stay correct? Can I put this off until I want to sell the truck, get the total from the truck computer, and have it be right?

What do you guys think?
