My vehicle qualifies for the settlement, now what?
Contact the nearest Chevrolet dealership to schedule an appointment. You will need to provide the VIN and vehicle mileage so the instrument cluster can be ordered in advance of the appointment. This will eliminate the need to keep the vehicle overnight.
My vehicle DOES NOT qualify for the settlement. What’s my best option?
Southern Electronics can repair your speedometer cluster the same day we receive it. We use the new OEM factory redesigned motors (X25.168), not old surplus or motors stripped from junkyard units that will fail again. Repairs include our 12 month hassle free warranty on the entire unit not just parts changed. We rebuild the entire unit, replacing all of the gauge stepper motors and illumination lamps, and send it back better than new.
Sending us your cluster couldn’t be easier. Just follow these simple instructions:
1. Remove the instrument cluster from the vehicle (video instructions)
2. Print out a free UPS Ground shipping label
3. Print and complete our Instrument Cluster Return Form (PDF)
4. Pack the cluster and return form together in a box (video instructions)
5. Affix the free shipping label and send it to us!

Here you go Bruce...this might help. Not the video but a good document. http://www.sound-expressions.com/rides/avaspdrpr.pdf
It has great descriptions and pictures on how to fix this problem.
You also might want to try this quick fix I just did this morning. Pull out the DIC (Digital Instrument Cluster) fuse from the main fuse box at the front in the engine compartment. Then start the truck. Then turn it off and re-install the fuse. This "zero's" the needles and you are ready to go.
Someone else suggested moving the gear shift to "drive" prior to starting the truck...they said this does the same thing without having to remove and re-install the fuse.
Good luck!

Our speedometer just stopped working. Found the recall info on the discussion board. Went to local Chev dealer and was told the promotion expired June 2010. Our avalanche only has 65000 miles on it. Shouldn't GM have sent us a notice of the recall on the instrument board? Any suggestions of where to go/call to get GM to warrant this? Any information would be greatly appreciated!#59 of 59 Re: GM Speedometer Recalls [mserra] by dfresh1

Thanks for this info...we pulled the fuse, cut the truck on and then off, inserted the fuse back in and restarted the truck and the speedometer was reset.
