Trip Counter Took A Dump

xtrempickup · March 20, 2008

well the trip counter in my 95 K1500 was working up til this morning when it got stuck between 9 tenths and zero. odometer is counting fine, i guess a gear in the counter went bad as it works to 9 if i reset it and it gets stuck again. anybody ever fix them?

I found this on the internet, it shows the instructions on how to remove the dash. the cluster comes out when the screws are removed around the base. The basic design is the same as mine but the gauges are different. Sorry man but thats as far as I want to go on the internet. I've found out that the gmt800's need a needle removal tool to get behind the gauge face. I don't know what that is.

Good luck.. Eric.

I took my 90 gmc apart to fix a broken tab that was binding the gears (kids hammering the reset button). It is a fairly simple job to do but was the square dash design. The odometer is probably the same though. If you have the square dash It comes apart easy and the instrument cluster just plugs in to a socket, pop it out and have a look. Just lots of screws.

Good luck.... Eric.
