rebuilds and repairs

Between the years 2000 and 2007, GM produced their pick up trucks, SUV and other models with defective or recalled parts within the instrument cluster. Over time the defective parts, called stepper motors, wear out causing erratic movement of the speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, water temp gauge, volt gauge, and the optional transmission temperature gauge.


Common symptoms of stepper motor failures include: dead or sticky gauges, gauges giving incorrect readings, needles "pegging out" or showing maximum readings, intermittent operation of gauges, and speedometers reading inaccurate vehicle speeds. These symptoms can lead to potential speeding tickets and unsafe driving conditions if a driver is startled by an incorrect gauge reading while driving. A failed fuel gauge has led to drivers being stranded on the road as they attempt to measure fuel by miles driven on the odometer.


Other common symptoms include: dim or burned out back lighting bulbs, gear indicator (PRNDL) or odometer that does not display or is hard to read, or the entire gauge cluster powering on and off intermittently or not powering on at all.


If you find yourself with a GM vehicle that has any of these problems you have a few options. First, you can consider buying a used cluster assembly from a salvage yard or "junk yard". Be aware however, you must to have the mileage programmed from the dealer and all used clusters will have the same defective parts and will also fail in time.


Second, you can take your GM vehicle to the local dealership. They will replace the entire part for a cost usually between $400 and $800 and an extended down time of at least 2-3 weeks.


Third, you can have your original instrument cluster repaired by a professional instrument panel repair business ( www.GMGaugeGuy.com ). This option is often the best for many GM owners as it requires no re-programming, little or no down time and the least overall cost of all the options.

Do you tow frequently or do you just want to monitor your transmissions temperature? The 4L60e transmission in the 2003 - 2006 full size pick ups and SUVs are a weak point in the drivetrain and an overheating transmission is the #1 cause of premature failure. We can add a transmission temperature gauge to your original gauge cluster so you can monitor those temps at a glance and save thousands in potential repair costs. Nothing additional would need to be done or installed on your vehicle to work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your turnaround time?

Once I receive your instrument panel in the mail, it will typically be done and sent back out in the mail to your the next business day.

Can I drive my vehicle with the gauge cluster removed?

Your vehicle should drive and operate normally without the gauge cluster installed.

Will my mileage or vehicle information change?

No. Since we rebuild your existing instrument panel, none of the vehicle information saved on the instrument panel will change, including mileage.

How long is the warranty?

Lifetime. I stand behind my work and the products I use.

Are LEDs safe to use?

Yes, LED lights they are actually safer since they run cooler and use less power. 

Will my dimmer switch work with LEDs?

Yes, it will work just like normal.

I need a completely new instrument panel, can you help?

Yes I can. If your instrument panel is not repairable due to an accident or if a repair was attempted and failed, I can help you get a new circuit board, which includes programming the mileage and VIN number into the new board.

Do you have an exchange program?

No. I repair and rebuild your original instrument panel, saving you additional cost in programming and core charges. This way you get your original panel back and not a refurbished unit that you don't know the history of. 

The clear plastic bezel on my gauge cluster is cracked, do you have replacements?

Yes, most of the time we do carry replacements. Please contact us for availability. 

I'm out of state or too far to drive to you, what can I do?

If you're too far to drive or just don't have the time, you can ship me your gauge cluster. I've had customers ship me their gauge cluster from all of the U.S. and even from other countries. 

Do you offer gift cards?

Yes, we offer gift cards for all occasions! Please contact us for gift card inquiries.
