Speedo problems are a known problem with these trucks. I had one good willed 2 years ago on my 03. is their a TSB or anything that i could ask the dealer for? Tanc Crusher 07-31-2009, 02:35 PM The cluster in that year were not the greatest. Servo motor issues. You can pull cluster and replace the motor yourself or send it to some one that can repair them. Some post on that here. You may try the dealer for a fix but as far as I know only gasser models they have replaced. Or buy and aftermarket cluster but will require a Service Tech at dealer to program to allow all DIC features come up if you have that. Brian BigRob 07-31-2009, 03:14 PM so if i send it to this guy it sounds like he will fix the problem http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-2006-GM-SILVERADO-TRUCK-SPEEDOMETER-CLUSTER-REPAIR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14Q QhashZitem3353f7b2a5QQitemZ220452074149QQptZMotors Q5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories can i drive the truck with no cluster? Tanc Crusher 07-31-2009, 08:32 PM Yeah you can drive it without a cluster I would say. just not know speed unless using GPS or not know if a CEL pops up or overheat. How much fuel you have in it so fill up daily. Up to you on that. As far as to who I have no idea. Just heard about it being done. Have you used the search tool and used something like ' cluster repair ' or ' cluster motor replace '. Things like that. Brian ktmrfs 08-07-2009, 12:09 AM bad stepper motor more than likely. GM did an extended warranty but only for 5 years and 70K miles. do an ebay search for stepper motors. <$10 each, or a full set for <$50 IIRC, shipped with instructions on how to replace the stepper motor. Need a small soldering iron and a "solder sucker" . If you can't do the soldering find a buddy who can. Given that when one fails, other will follow, (spedo motor is usually the first to go) I replaced all of mine for <$50, took less than an hour from cluster removal to reinstall. If you fix your own cluster there is no need to do any reprogramming. Really a pretty straighforward job. maxinDixon 08-07-2009, 10:49 AM I too replaced my stepper motors. Much cheaper than replacing the cluster. heymccall 08-07-2009, 08:27 PM There is a DIY on it here http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=140580&highlight=stepper BigRob 08-07-2009, 08:40 PM thanks ill check that out! | ||
