How many miles did you have on you truck before you had to replace your gauge cluster due to burnt out light for the gauges?

I had 42,000 miles on my truck then my coolant temp gauge light burnt out. Naturaly I tore the dash apart to try to replace the non-replaceable light bulbs. now half of the lights are out and I'm going to have the truck down for two days wile they replace the cluster (and other warranty items) thank god I bought the extended warranty.
End Rant.

I had 7,000 miles on my truck and one of them burnt out. Replaced under warranty and now at 86k miles its been fine ever since.

Took 90k on the first '05 and the oldest '05 has 148k and they all still work. Heater panels however, right after 36k miles on all of them. I just solder the bulb in following the stepper DIY. IIRC, 10 in the radio, 4 in the heater panel and 10 in the cluster. It's been a while, though.

Search "7219 Shack" (the Eiko number plus the Radio shack name) and you'll find my posts with the Radio Shack part number.

I replaced some gauge cluster lights on a 69 396SS Chevelle in 1979; other than that, I have never replaced any gauge cluster lights.
