On random occasions the speedometer in my 05 1500 decideds to flip out. I will be driving 60 but it says im running 120, and when i come to a stop, it says im stil running 40 or so. It has mood swings lol, most of the time it works fine. Anyone know whats going on here?

Your issue is called a Instrument Panel Cluster repair. You need to take your truck in and have GM fix it. It will be done for free as long as your truck is under 70,000 miles. If not sorry it will cost close to $600. Customer Satisfaction program: 1-800-630-2438. They will give you the info you need as long as your Vin on your truck qualifies for the program.

It is most likely the I/P cluster that failed. The Special policy is 07187 and applies to 03-04 trucks only, if you complain enough to the dealer or customer service at GM they might cover it under warranty anyways

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      AMSOIL SS is about prevention and it is very good at it's job. I've never seen it claim to be a cleaner however like Valvoline R&P. Almost any oil that has some Ester or Alkylated Naphthalene in sufficient quantity will do a good job at keeping the rings functional.     I see the market splint among these types in two groups; those that use the same tech in every weight grade and those that reserve the tech for the EPA (EPA) friendly grades. Mobil 1 for example keeps the Advanced Clean chemistry out of the SAE 40 and up weights. Other like HPL (top shelf group and No-VII), Red Line HP, TORCO, MPT30K use the tech in all grades. Just not something the Wally World oils are into.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      True. My statement needs qualification. "For a shade tree mechanic, re-assembling the front engine to achieve a rough baseline timing of 0 degrees, as is approximated and indicated by common visual indicator mark alignment, measured with a human eye capable of 20/20 vision *with correction, I am reasonably confident that I have followed the outlined procedures/ prescribed methods for verifying baseline timing."   😉   In the end, the computer sets the timing, it's continuously variable based on sensor input, and the distributor only has a degree or two of physical adjustability intended for dialing in the final setting for cam ****** once everything is back together. But even that final value is acceptable within, I believe, +/- 3 degrees.   I thought my exhaust project was going to be a bear. To my surprise, the old clamps came right off last night, and I was able to unbolt all the hangers instead of having to muscle the rubber mounts. The old cat is ready to slip off the factory y-pipe. The rest is ready to come out with one or two cuts, and I've got a fresh blade waiting. I love living where rust isn't a thing.
