Damn...that sucks. Go to a junk yard and pull the gauge cluster out of one thats the same. No?

 

Did that to my buddy's sisters Saturn. Works like a charm. Only 18 bucks

No, not in the truck, in my wife's 2004 Impala.

 

Called dealer and I am looking at about $500-600 parts/labor.

 

F**K!!!!! :crackup:

 

Do it yourself and it'll be cheaper? :crackup:

What a bummer to have this time of year! :dunno: But yeah, DIY. Check the junk yards or price check on GM Parts Direct.

She wouldn't even if I offered. She never once even got in the driver's seat of my 2000 in 7-1/2 years. No exaggeration. She did drive my 89 a few times, but that was many years ago now.

LOL! I think my wife has driven mine 2x in 13 mos, the last time my boys said, Wow Dad, Mom hit the street curbs several times while out shopping in your truck"... I went out and checked the rims, which were OK, but geez, the sidewalls looked like you took a steel brush to 'em. She hasn't touched it since. :P

I suppose I'm lucky,my wife hates to drive mine....she has a hell of a time gettin' in it....we have places here where you can go and remove the part yourself called 'Pick-A-Part' & 'U-Pick-Parts',do you have anything like that near you? These places are alot cheaper than an actual wrecking yard.

My wife drives my truck once in a while. When she does it's like she's chasing Mad Max through the Australian outback.

It's a fair trade off because days she is home I take the altima to work and terrorize ricers with their own medicine. :D

Quit whining about it, and get it fixed for her. :P I just now figured out where I've seen those girls in your sig. If I'm not mistaken, the one on the left is Sophie Moon, and the one on the right is Crystal Steele. They make a damn good lezbo movie. :D

If you get a gauge cluster from the salvage yard....Remember that the mileage is stored in the gauge cluster.

 

I would hate to put a cluster with a TON of miles in a low mileage car.

You can take both clusters to the dealer or a speedometer shop and they can set the mileage on the NEW (salvage) cluster to be the same as the bad cluster.

      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.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
