Oh GM, why so hard to get the most basic things right?

My '03 Yukon did the same thing at around 85-90k miles.

And FWIW, my local dealer told me GM is covering the '04s up to 90K miles, but the '05 models up to 100K. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Seems strange to me but then common sense is pretty rare these days!

Thanks Dennis but we've since replaced the '03 with a '07 Denali. Much better build of a truck!

Sounds like a bad stepper motor in the cluster...there's a step-by-step "How To" over at DieselPlace on replacing them. Like someone said above, GM is covering certain years up to certain mileage, so it's worth checking before dropping any $$$...

I just started to repair my 03 Silverado. Very easy to remove the cluster and take it apart. I bought a new stepper motor on ebay for $3.00. When I get it I just need to unsoldier the old one and solder in the new one onto the circuit board.

Since were on the dash topic, anyone have a CD stuck in their stereo unit? My '04 2500HD won't eject the CD, lucky for me its one of my favorites! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif If you take the cluster out - is the head unit sitting right there for easy removal too?

My biggest bitch with my 2000 Sierra has been the CD player. Had it replaced 3 times/4 if you count the time the dealer tried to replace it with one that looked like it had spent an hour tumbling in a dryer. Another time they didn't even check it after swapping the unit, I was PO'd when the first thing I did was put in a disk and it didn't work. They also required two service calls, one to remove the unit then 3-4 weeks later back to get the refurbed unit installed. It quit again after the warrenty expired and I've never bothered to fix it, figured it was pointless. Fortunately the disk ejected. Other than that, it's been a great truck, plan on keeping it another 10 yrs.

On my 2003 Hd2500 Silverado the Oil pressure guage started reading buried up or down about 2 years ago 55k.The speedo just started doing it about 2 months ago.I noticed it moving kind of clicky for about 2 days,then I drovr past a parked cop and looked down at the speedo and was doing almost 90,but the cars around me were psssing me.Now it reads 120 when sitting in the driveway.I noticed the turn the key trick right away,then I took the cluster apart and manually pushed the needle baqck,and the next day it was buried again.Truck just rolled 90K,I guess I'm screwed.
