INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE. THE CLUSTER FAILED WITHIN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPLACEMENT CLUSTER FAILED A YEAR LATER. THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THAT THEY REPAIR THE CLUSTERS THEY REPLACE AND SELL THEM AS NEW. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THEY REPAIR THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM WITH THE RETURNED CLUSTER AND THAT THE CLUSTERS ARE SUBJECT TO FAIL AGAIN. IF THE CLUSTER IS REPLACED AS NEW IT SHOULD BE A NEW UNIT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REPLACEMENT CLUSTER WAS SOLD WITHOUT WARRANTY AND THAT IT COULD FAIL AGAIN. THE TECH THAT WORKED ON MY TRUCK SAID THAT HE REPLACES THESE CLUSTERS OFTEN. *NM

I HAVE A 2004 SILVERADO 2500HD(C/K) WITH 51,000+ MILES. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND JUST STARTED AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SPEEDOMETER OPERATES ERRATICALLY BY SHOWING VARIOUS SPEEDS SUCH AS 80 MPH WHILE I AM DRIVING 25 MPH OR SHOWN 120 MPH WHILE I AM STOPPED. AT TIME IT MIGHT WORK PROPERLY BUT THEN JUMP TO 60 MPH WHILE I AM DRIVING 20 OR WHILE I AM SITTING STILL. MY DEALER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WILL REPAIR IT FOR $580.00 I CONTINUE TO DRIVE USING THE TACHOMETER TO GAUGE MY SPEEDS AND SPEED CONTROLS TO MAINTAIN SPEEDS WHILE IN MOUNTAINOUS OR HILLY TERRAIN. *JB
