post-57594-1230874392_thumb.jpgI already posted this in the HD forum, but I'm alittle mad that GM still has a problem with the gages in the new trucks. I would think this would have been fixed already. Take a look at the picture of my dash. this is running in my shop. oil pressure at 80+ volt gage all the way around and water temp at 260+ and the speedo at 5 mph. it was at 20mph sitting still earlier today. what do you guys think about this problem in a new truck

All you can do is take it in to the dealer. Sounds like a bad cluster altogether if there are that many different issues but maybe that's not the case. It's possible there's a TSB on this and a simple re-flash will fix it. Let us know what you find.

is this a common problem or just an anomaly? i would expect the gauges on my new truck to function properly, and i'd be pissed if they didn't.

the dealer was surprised to hear that an 08 was having dash problems, If anyone else has had the same problems with the new body style I would like to know.

I have to agree totally that GM should have this problem solved. As much as I love my GM truck, they are SLOOOW to take care of known problems. Perhaps that is part of the cause of the latest round of financial problems?

 

Come on GM. You have a shitload of fans here... and I am glad to be one of them.

 

How about some help?

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      By cautious optimist · Posted

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
