that sucks.... I never saw that coming...

 

No doubt. I'm not having it programmed. I put a sticker on the door with the mileage at time of the instrument cluster swap, engine hours and fuel. If I decide to sell the truck at some time, It's on the door and the paperwork's in the glove box...

 

and if you keep the old one you should be able to prove the mileage right?

 

I have a 03 H2 that the speedo went wacko on and saidI was doin 100+ whenI was stopped. I found out from a chevy forum that the 1500 and the H2 have the same clusters. SoI looked up speedometer repair shop and located one near me in sacramento. I contacted them and they said drop it off and they wouold have it done in an hour. For around $180.00 they put a new Speedo,Tach, Oil and Fuel gauge motors. I reinstalled the cluster and all the info was still in the memory andI did nothave to have anything recalibrated.The dealer yold me that if you buy anewone from them your getting a rebuilt cluster and you have to give them yours in exchange. The shop is called Sacramento Speedomter and there number is 916-371-5873. I think I covered it all.
