Replying to: szymas (Jul 10, 2009 9:50 am) I've searched thru all the TSBs and recalls for your vehicle and not discovered anything related to your issue. I've read here that some had them replaced under warranty after the 3/36 period but I believe that is dealer specific. You could try a couple of other dealerships for their opinion, however, your cluster panel is defective. Another option, one that I had done on my 2000 Silverado is install an Escalade cluster that will give you a free trans temp gauge. The other option of course is to replace your cluster with an identical one. The part number for that is 15055362. Take the number to any dealer and they can order one for you. The price is about $225.00. It comes with a sticker enclosed that the dealer will fill out to identify the cluster as a replacement and log the mileage both on the car and with GM. If it's a competant dealer he will reprogram the mileage from the old to the new.

Replying to: obyone (Jul 10, 2009 2:18 pm) Thanks for the reply, so there's no chance it could just be a faulty ground wire or a shorted wire? geez..I'm sure I cannot replace that cluster panel myself it looks like a very difficult removal process..

Replying to: szymas (Jul 10, 2009 4:54 pm) If you can change a video card in a computer you can change the cluster. You need to pull the dash trim around the cluster. Then two screws that hold the cluster and unplug from behind. Shouldn't take longer than 20 minutes to remove and replace, faster once you do it the first time.

Replying to: szymas (Jul 10, 2009 9:50 am) No....I got a recall card for this......I will try to find it. Does anyone know any good "recall" websites? Obyone? I swear I remember getting a notice for the gauge panel recall...

Replying to: davethecarnut (Jul 15, 2009 9:45 pm) I found it....it's not a recall notice but a class action lawsuit claim. 2003-2005 GMT800 platforms. Extends warranty on dash panel within 7 years when vehicle was placed in service or 70,000 miles,whicever first, condition will be repaired at no charge. If you paid to have fixed, you can get reimbursed for parts and labor. Between 70k and 80k miles, reimbursement for parts only. Over 80k, you're screwed. Reimbursement number 1-800-204-0261 have your VIN Multi District Litigation number 1896.....and I guess it's in a Detroit court.

Replying to: szymas (Jul 16, 2009 7:03 am) Well, that worked out well They wanted me to hand out 3 hours of labor to look into the issue at$91.00 a hour.. sorry, I told them to correct the recalls and pack it up I am not going to give away 300.00 and not even know if it could be fixed..

Replying to: szymas (Jul 16, 2009 1:46 pm) $91.00 isn't that bad our local Chevy dealer charges $130.00 an hour for factory certified technicians. Course the labor comes way down if you do the diagnoses for them.
