My speedometer stopped working on my way home from work. It slowly went down to zero and wouldn't move. Everything else works fine other then that. I took the truck out about 30 minutes later and it worked fine. Anyone know whatit could be. Its an 04 with 67,000 miles on it. Thanks

GM has acknowledged an issue on 03/04 trucks and is fixing them for free (up to 70K miles I believe?). There is a "special service policy" out about this (as my dealer called it). I know because I had heard something about this and called my dealer to see if my wife's 04 Impala was included. Unfortunately, for me anyway, it's only for the trucks.

 

Call your dealer.

That problem is very common on 2003-2006 Silverado & Suburban's. My 2003 Suburban speedometer stopped working everything else worked though, by the time I heard about getting it fixed under warranty I had already gotten rid of it.

I would try getting it fixed under warranty ASAP, while u still can. Just cause it was working right now doesn't mean it is fixed.

Mine would drop to 0 then it worked fine, now it is stuck at 120mph, I have a 05 sierra with 87000km, i am getting no where with gm cs, if the dealer cant take care of it i will be signing on to the class action lawsuit, and have a magnetic sign made for my truck, it will tell potential buyers of GM Quality Products to talk to me before they purchase a GM product. Should have stuck with the Jap Crapp

I had the same issue with my '04 Yukon and it is out of warranty. The fuel gauge stopped working and was stuck on empty. I took it in after reading about it being a problem from this forum. I dropped it off and they checked it out and replaced it in about 20 minutes. They told me there were issues with the earlier gauges and it had a 70k warranty on it for that.

 

and I was all prepared to buy a new aftermarket cluster gauge which would have looked much nicer :lol:

but you cant beat free.

      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”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
