Sneakystiffler21 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I was on my way home form work yesterday and stopped at a red light, looked down and the speedo is sitting at 45mph!?!?! When i got home i turned the truck off, let it sit for a couple minutes and turned it back on, speedo went from 45 down to 35 mph and sat there. I repeated these steps and it went from 35 to 25. so i did it a couple more times till it was back at zero. I then went for a short drive and it seemed to be fine. The last couple days i've noticed on deceleration that its real jerky instead of the smooth turn its supposed to have. Any ideas/ advice? the truck isan't under warrenty, go figure. Thanks, Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jond983 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I need help too, my speedometer is doing the same thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixsupersport Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 there are a couple of you with the same prob it sounds like it might be wearing out they can only go from 0-120 so many times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky7_93021 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I had the exact same issue and hoped it would go away... but it just get's worse. You have to get the cluster replaced. Mine was still under extended warrenty and was covered. If you are out of warrenty you can find them "cheap" on line but the dealer has to install so they can switch over all the settings and memory. When I was researching it a while ago I remember a lot of guys having the same issue. I couldn't find a recall though. Hope that helps...

Cursed1 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I agree. Recall would be nice. Mine is doing the same thing. Actually today it was stuck at 120mph while I drove around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimp ss Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 you dont have to go to dealership go to JPCUSTOMS.COM they have new SS gauges for 300.00 they come with a sticker so you can record your miles or if you dont care about being honest just start at 0 miles again.

MP5GUY Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 They just get worse most of the time. I had mine replaced under extended warr and mine said I was going 80 at 25. Just watch the miles get put on driving around town. There has been quite a few lately. Mine lasted less then a week before it went really nuts. Lost my tach ect. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
