Replying to: firemedic_buck (Oct 14, 2009 8:51 pm) firemedic_buck,   I am interested in where you got the speedometer fixed. ICan you post a link? 'm having the same problem as everyone else with my 2003 Trailblazer, and I want to just fix it myself.   Thanks,   Tom
#224 of 230 Stupid fix, but it works! by marchibc Nov 13, 2009 (4:53 pm)
Folks, I feel your pain! I have an 04 Envoy that the speedometer started acting up on at around 70K. Some times it gets stuck at a "pegged" speed or something in between. I noticed that when you start the vehicle, all the gauges pulse toward the "zero" position, so i thought "what if I could turn the key on in succession - would it reset the speedometer?" Well, you can't do it with the vehicle in PARK , because it starts the vehicle, BUT, you can reset the speedometer in this way: 1) While in PARK, turn the key toward the "START" position, but stop short of starting the vehicle 2) With the key in this position, put the shift lever into "R" or REVERSE 3) Now RAPIDLY turn the key toward the START position and momentarily, hold it there and you'll see the speedometer will pulse about 5-10 MPH toward the "zero" speed position. Before the needle pulses back in a positive direction, repeat the key turning sequence in rapid succession and you can slowly reset the speedometer back to zero. It takes a little practice, but eventually, you can reset it in about a minute. I now have 148K on my Envoy and it's worked so far...
#225 of 230 Worse GM Product!! by woodnwings Nov 19, 2009 (6:52 am)
My 2003 Z71 is crap. The oil pressure and fuel quantity indicator went around 55k, Dealer would not cover it and I was able to work around the issue. I change the oil every 3500miles and I had digital miles to use for the fuel issue. Now my wife is leaving for Chicago and the speedo is parked at 120+. My heated seats just quit! the sticker on the car is $48,657.00. This stuff just quits working. I do have 125k on the vehicle (soccer/baseball mom)but this is BS. I spoke with GM service and they tell me they are NOT aware of these issues! You got to be KIDDING! They I come across this forum, unbelievable the people having the same problems. Everyone should call and light up GM Costumer Service. I am calling my attorney general's office in NJ. I WILL never but a GM vehicle again!!!!! And think the taxpayers bailed out this unaccountable company. ITS ARROGANCE!

Replying to: firemedic_buck (Oct 14, 2009 8:51 pm) Hi There,   Thank-you for posting your story.   I have the same problem and I would like more info on how you handled your problem.   If you have phone numbers and contacts, that would be great.   To remove and reinstall the part, did you repair it yourself? Also how involved is the repair.   Thanks for the info.
#227 of 230 2008 suburban breaks squeak by trucklover4 Nov 23, 2009 (3:48 pm)
I have a question about my 2008 Suburban. Bought it used with 32000 miles on it. Anytime I gently presss the brake pedal I get a squeking noise, but as I press the pedal harder to actually stop the truck the squeak goes away. Called dealeship and they said it was just brake just and to go wash the discs off at a carwash. Didn't quite solve the problem. Thoughts. Anyone had this issue. Brakes work fine in terms fo slowing down truck and no wobbling in the steering wheel when brakes are applied.

Replying to: firemedic_buck (Oct 14, 2009 8:51 pm) Hello ,could you please give me some info on where you sent your cluster too ? I have had this problem with my 03 since Jan 09. All in one day my oil pressure gauge , then the charging system then the speedo. It was really cold that day around 0 or minus. The weird thing is once in awhile the speedo works. Thank You Replies to this message: jthegeek (Dec 03, 2009 3:40 am)
#229 of 230 2004 Z71 Fuel and Oil Cluster stopped working by hockeydad7247 Dec 02, 2009 (6:30 pm)
I would like to thank everyone for posting either similar or exactly the same problem i'm having. Around 85K, my fuel gauge stopped showing full. The fuel pump went around 80K, so the dealer diagnosed the problem as a faulty fuel sensor causing the gauge to not function. which comes attached to the Fuel pump. Just over 12k and less then one year, the problem started again. From the dealer prospective, there work is only guaranteed for a year/12k miles. I complained, there's no way ...now that the truck is out of warranty, I'm going to start paying every year to have the Fuel pumped replaced. That's a major job and very expensive. From the post on this site, the problem appears to be within the Instrument Panel and the dealer should have replaced the panel. Again, the dealer or should I say, the "Parts Swappers", have failed to fix another problem.

Replying to: hdgal3 (Nov 24, 2009 10:53 am) Hello to All.. Check Ebay.. There Are A few People That Actually repair The Cluster. Price Ranges From $30 To $140 Or Higher.. You Would Have To Remove The Cluster Yourself And Mail It To The Person. Beware Of And Read Very Carefully The Fine Print Of The Service Being Rendered.. Some Of The Auctions Are Only For The Repair Of One Gauge and Others For The Entire Cluster.   The Issue Is Caused By Burnt out "Bumper" motors.. The Needles On The Gauges Actually Plug Into These Motors And Cause Them To move. I Was Able To Dig In and Get As Far As The Motors On My Cluster (Which I Replaced In New Mexico With A Used One Just So I Could Get Home With A Speedometer) I Was Going To Switch The Motors Myself But They Are On a Circuit Board That I Just Didn't Have The Guts To Tamper With. With "GOVERNMENT MOTORS" Disregarding Their "Loyals" It Would Be Wise To Take Advantage Of The People On Ebay That Offer The Repair Service Which Includes Replacing The Old Motors With The Next Generation Motors That GM Started Using after The Crap They Sold Us Gave Out..   These Guys Also Calibrate The Cluster Before Sending It Back.. Again, The Pricing Is The Key.. Read The Whole "Buy It Now" Auction Details Before Making The Purchase. One Of The Guys In In Minnesota Another In Oklahoma.. The Other i Do Not Remember.   Search On Ebay: (Your Vehical Year) ie. 2005 Silverado Dash Cluster Repair.   They Should Come Up. Turn around Time According To The Auctions Is One Working Day After The Cluster Is Received By the Repairman. Also You Will Have To Pay The Shipping..   Hope This Helped You Out... HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
