Insterment panel

I've heard of and experienced lots of speedometer problems with this cluster, but not too many like you describe. Take it to the dealer. They can hook up a diagnostic /reader programmer and test the all the parts of the cluster. I've seen them do it to mine while I watched.

Thanks for the tip, when I had it to the dealer when I though the Tranny temp was running hot and before I suspected the gauges they told me they could find no problems.

Electrical gremlins like this are frustrating to track down. Could be a short or ground fault to the cluster. Or the cliuster could be bad. If the tach is permanently stuck and the tranny gauge is pegged down in the opposite direction, I don't see any option but to take it in and have it looked at again. Might be simple. Probably not though, A GM remanufactured cluster is $400. Installation is 20 min. A new cluster is over $1200.

Thanks for the help I will probably take out the panel and see if I can find anything visible as that is not too bad a job. the temp gauge and the rpm both work but are way off there readings

You might be a redneck if.... You talk and spell like this! lol just kidding.

I just had my cluster replaced (same problem) dealership said that this should be a recall item because of the number they have had to replace.

Thanks for the reply I did find a place that will rebuild the cluster for a reasonable price what did the dealer charge you for replacing the cluster
