Spedometer problem...

[FenixNR]

Well, I went for a trip from spfld, mo, to around spfld, illinois. On the way there, the spedo stuck... I didn't notice it until we stopped. To get it to go back, I had to start the vehicle like 20 times, to get it to register back to zero and start working again. Well about 50 miles down the road, it locked up again. It finally quit after we got back to spfld, mo, but now, I was driving and it stuck at 0 3 different times in a 5 mile round trip. I really wanna know what this could be.

hey looks like your from NY too !

Love the dash ! Looks real sweet. :thumbsup: Did you have the dealer do the work or somewhere local ? and where did you find that dash ?

 

[Polecat]

NICE dash!!!!!!!!!

yep, my 2003 has done it like 3 times now...I need to get it in....

 

[HitandRunDriver]

i think thats the escalade dash, they have them on ebay for around 200-250...i was interested in getting one a while back but for now i'm saving my cash

 

[Hoebag03]

the escalade and the SS gauges(not sure if others have it but these are the guage clusters i was looking at) have the tranny temp in the gauge cluster and all these trucks are prewired for it so all you have to do is clip in the new cluster and you got your tranny temp.

 

[REDYUKON]

01 Yukon has tranny temp prewired?

the escalade and the SS gauges(not sure if others have it but these are the guage clusters i was looking at) have the tranny temp in the gauge cluster and all these trucks are prewired for it so all you have to do is clip in the new cluster and you got your tranny temp.

I am trying to replace my gauge and wondering if 01 Yukon has the prewired temp guage for the tranny?

 

[Kawboy8]

Scorpio,
Where did you get your gauge cluster from? It really looks great and my speedo is having the same problem so I need to replace it.

 

[scorpio]

Hey fellas sorry been bussy for a while. This is actualy the original dash with a us speedo face. The trans gage already exists in the dash bord circuts it just needs to be added which the guy did. He had all the software and everything else needed to complete the job. Exellent work and very resonable price.

The trucks all have the same connectors too? Does the gauge cluster store teh mileage? I mean, if I install a used cluster from an escalade does will it show my mileage or the escalades?? (and if it shows the escalade, can I get it set to show mine?)

Also, if I have an american tahoe (speedo in mph) but live in Canada, can I put a Canadian escalade cluster in there to get the KPH?
