i have a recall for the cluster on my truck(2004). sticking, stuck, inoperative needles. expires 7 year or 70000 miles. truck has 73000 on it and speedo just started to stop and not go below 15mph; reads 80-90mph while actually doing 60. if the dealer won't be kind and help me out on this recall because i'm 3000 over; what does it entail for me to fix this on my own...procedure, price, etc.
thanks

There are some post on replacing the gauge cluster stepper motors. Where to get them and how to replace. You can send it off to a few places to do this for you. Of course you have no gauges if you drive it till you get it back. Other is get a new cluster and have dealer service copy mileage off old cluster to new cluster.

I did the stepper motors on mine... You can buy them on ebay for $30 or $35 for six which will replace all of them or seperate... When you buy them it comes with instructions on how to do it, its not hard... The only thing that I kinda messed up on is my speed is off by 2mph, but saved alot of $$$....My tahoe and d-max both went out right at 80k, nice couldnt have been sooner...

Technicar in Oldsmar,FL rebuilt them for me when I worked at a dealership. Dunno if they will do it for a individual but you can try.
You will need the vin, mileage, hours, and part number off the back of the cluster. They usually cost me around $180 with overnight shipping.
