Bad Speedometer/Cluster

[Godti]

The speedo on my '04 hoe died. Now I know there is a real issue with the step motors on these clusters, but before I go ahead and replace it I thought I would ask a question.

Can it be anything else other than the step motor? My brother and law says its something to do with the transmission, but I seriously doubt it.

My trip last month I had mine stop at 55mph. Wouldn't go any higher. Plus it would stick coming down. I just bought the truck right before my trip. Thank god it was certified. It goes in Saturday to the steeler to get the cluster replaced. Of course its worked fine for the past 2 weeks........

Are all cluster interchangable between the '03-'06 yukon, denali, tahoe and silverado? Including the diesels? Ive seen some on ebays for a decent prices and I would like the tranny temp gauge so I was going to pick up a denali set or maybe the silverados (but its from a diesel model).

All 03-06's can interchange....BUT....I think you have to exchange gas for gas and diesel for diesel.

I could be wrong on that last part..I am just going by (maybe bad) memory.

I think a diesel would work, Your just gunna freak out alot of people when your rpms shoot up to 6k RPM when the redline is 3k RPM on the duramax LOL.

Well that makes sense. SO I can get away with an escalade cluster then. The platium addition. Anyone got a part number on that?
