Man, I'll tell ya. My truck rolled over 50, 000 miles and it seems to be falling apart!!! First it was the heating/airconditioning thing (fixed ), now the instrument cluster! Dealer wants about $550 to order and replace it, (my speedometer stopped working). So I spoke with my Dad (he's a Gear-Head). H esays they're not that hard to replace, just time-consuming. Says it's a "plug-in". My husband wants me find one on EBay, and he thinks he can replace it himself. Anyone ever replace one? Apparently I'll still need to go to the dealer to have it programmed for mileage and such... I really want to do it as inexpensivly as as possible, because I just spent a chunk on four new tires. Hear what I'm saying? Input would be appreciated!!! Thanks All!

I hate to say this but thats almost 200% mark up...........it should be more in the range of 285-300.

Hey parts Guy. Got one on Ebay. A new one some guy took out of his truck and replaced with something else. Miles read "0" so... my husbands gonna put it in over the weekend with the new white faced cove thingy. I'm sure it'll look sharp. Not as sharp as Bob's. Wow...That really looks good!
