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. :thumbs:

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.....

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.

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.

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?

      OEM Trailer Hitch Receiver - Impact tightened by shop

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      After my recent rear end bumper damage, body shop has made the repairs and included a new OEM receiver hitch.  I started thinking about how it was tightened...to specs or by hand or ??.  I called the body shop and asked and they said it was tightened by an impact gun.  I said I wanted it tightened to OEM specs.  They said no problem, bring it to shop today and they will torque to specs, which they say is 74 ft/lbs.   A couple of questions,,,,   1.  Should new bolts have been used?  If so, how many are there (bill shows one and four (I assume different areas of receiver).   2.,  Since they torqued with impact gun and now are going to probably loosen and then torque to spces, will that damage/stretch the bolts?   3.  If old bolts were reused (truck has 9000 miles), is that a problem?   4.  Any other things iI may have missed with regard to receiver replacement?   Thanks!

      Defective Brake Pad Wear Sensor?

      By newdude · Posted

      Is this supposed to be in English?  "close to 100 fake, new brake pads sign on the dash board"     Pull the wheels off.  Check the brake pad thickness.  Check the sensors out.  You could have good pads and the sensors aren't in to the worn out position, but have an electrical fault with the sensor or the plug wiring to the sensor.

      Tomorrow I go in for my third joint replacement in jus a little over a year year!  I am not worried about the surgery but I am a little annoyed about going through the recovery process again!  I keep my frustrations to myself as I do appreciate that I am truly lucky.  Knee, hip, and shoulder replacements are routine, safe and improve mobility.  The next couple of days will be slow but every day following will see steady improvement in my mobility.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Practical Application ISO 4406   I think this oil cleanliness thing is going to boil down to ones personal resolve. The information is there but applying it I believe will test your commitment to the machine. Implementation would involve building or buying a prefilter or purchase of an "ISOCLEAN" oil. Then installing a single digit micron bypass system. A good deal of testing and about 99.9% of you are saying at that point....yea.....not my cuppa tea. So what can you do?    You already did the first step. Get educated and leave the bias at the door. Be aware of the its, cleanliness, importance.    Do your own work if you can. Keep the equipment clean. Not just your funnel but the engine bay. Use sealed containers. Think it through.    I believe you will find, as I did, that the tightest absolute full flow filters (Beta 200) will be around 20 micron. That will yield on average a Beta 75 of 10-15 micron. They are few in number by brand and price point. Loose filters are a dime a dozen and even the best brands have lines of loose filters. Some cleverly marketed as "Extended Service". Others will market flow over efficiency. But I think the take away once informed is that the extra cost of the best offered is a bargain. There are cheaper filters with good efficiency that are equal in performance to niche brands with big prices. Your Quick Lube is about a 40 micron unit. This is where your dealer is a plus. the AC-Delco filter is a good step up from those places. Even better if you specify the UPF line.    Be skeptical of marketing. Buying an oil that is made from GTL advertised as the cleanest base oil is using a truth to support a lie. While GTL's are made from debris free gas the processing equipment and post handling is just like any other oil. It also ignores the fact that PAO's and Esters are also gas in origin. Any private prescreening testing you would do, and some have done, would yield a result only good for the batch you tested. AMSOIL and Schaeffer's have built a reputation for paying attention to this detail.    Context. Cold starts account for at least 75%, or more, of an engines wear. But of the remaining 25% ish, over 80% is caused by particle count. Now where do we find high milage motors that use this type of information efficiently? OTR trucking!      Now, anyone want to build a prefilter or off line cleaning system anyway?
