When the weather is cold my speedometer tends to stick. So if I turn the truck off and its stuck at 40mph than when I start to move the next time it goes up from there. (so when Im doing 20mph it shows Im doing 60mph). I can flip the ignition on and off and the needle will come back around to 0. It did this last winter but stopped when it got warmer, I assumed it fixed itself....I guess not :angry: :uh: Anybody had this problem or know what it takes to fix it? Thanks

there is a service bulletin for those clusters. the whole cluster needs to be replaced with an updated one. you have to have the dealer order one up and put it in. they have to be programmed with the bcm and pcm.

 

[maniak2005]

any other questions just asked. i have erplaced and programmed about 500 of them things

you can actually by the motors on ebay

they tend to go out on 03 and newer chevys

But what I dont get is that it works like a champ except for when the weathers cold. Which is only a couple months here.

it the whole cluster that has problems. i've seen every needle have problems. when i was at chevy, a truck would come in with that problem, and i would go get a tech II scan the part number and go straight to parts. and then ship the truck. 5 min and was done till part came in. dont try to fix the cluster. it will be nothing but problems.

THEY HAVE THEM IN SETS OF 8

SO U CAN REPLACE ALL EIGHT

 

[maniak2005]

ya you can. but no matter what he does its still a pour design. and at least you can get a 12 mo warranty with it. cuz you know its goin to mess up again, again, again.

You replace the whole cluster not the needles.

thats what i tried telling sleepy. but if he has replaced just the little motors in there and worked fine than more power to him. i would just get a new cluster from the dealer and have them program it.

 

[67juiced]

But why does it screw up only when the weather is cold? :angry: :uh:

IM SAYING, IF YOU THINK YOU CAN DO IT , ORDER THE STEPPER MOTORS ONLINE, OR SEND THE CLUSTER TO GET FIXED, WHY SPEND 500 PLUS DOLLARS AT THE DEALER



SEARCH "STEPPER MOTORS" ON EBAY AND GOOGLE

 

[maniak2005]

i seen quite few come threw and the cluster was 250-300 and the programming was anout 80. if he can do it great more power to him. but if he fucks up then he just wasted money

its worse when its cold. but does it anytime.

 

[HARDLUCK88]

funny, im having the opposite problem, but with a honda lol. when its hot out, the speedo and radio cut off for just a second at random times... oh, but also the doors kept trying to lock themselves... i just pulled the fuse.. but the stereo and speedo are still doing that shit, but now that its cold out it stopped... i think the secondary cooling fan has a short.

I know its not the needles, believe i've done so many and still do.
I work at the Dealer.
