skymynx Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 So if my fuel gauge is stuck at the 2 position when turned off and goes to the 4-5 position when turned on (just filled up) save to assume my stepper motor's are going? Would it also explain why the tran temp only works sometimes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NolletSSS Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Probably a good sign that its your stepper motors. Not that hard to replace either. I picked up all 6 from amazon for 12 bucks and refrenced the "how to" section on it. Just a total of a couple hours and my cluster was back in and working like new. If it turns out to be something other than the stepper motors then you are only out the 12 bucks, but you will have a known good cluster. On my truck it was the speedo and the fuel gauge that went out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read up a little more on the swap and seems easy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NolletSSS Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Sorry after going back and looking it was $16 on my old envoice but now they are selling them for $19. but the link is here edit: also to replace all of them you will need 7, not 6 as mentioned above.

silverado777 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Thanks for the recommendations guys! Sky let me know if you have any questions. If you don't feel comfortable tackling this yourself we can do it for you and even add an LED conversion if you want. When I do a full rebuild I not only fix what is broken now but will break in the near future. Also be careful when soldering, most people do more damage than good resulting in over double the cost of a rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1ss Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I had a picture of my speedo when my steppar motor went for the 1st time, it was buried way past 120mph. My friends kept asking how did I take the picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
