Big5er Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I have had several gauges, one at a time, begin to fail on me. First it was one air tank, then it was the odometer, etc. I was talking with someone that said this is common and they had sent theirs off to be rebuilt and would send me the info. Well, it's been a while. Obviously they forgot to send the info and I forgot who it was. Wasn't I talking about senility the other day? Anyway...help!!!!

Nigel Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Phil Try searching your local Craigslist or Google for something like dash cluster repair. I found a local guy that came to truck and changed four motors for about $200 cdn in my driveway.

redcrzr Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Big5er I looked into this a couple of years ago. I believe the Resource Guide had one vendor listed & after contacting them I seem to remember(?) they wouldn't repair my '99. I ended up having my "center" section replaced. Don't recall the price. A quick look at the links that were provided to you would make me think that it may be possible for a repair on a Gen1 cluster. Would appreciate it if you'd let us know of your experience with the repair.

FYI the listing for the link that I sent indicates that the 159.00 fee includes repair of stepper motors and background lighting. Not sure about speaker replacement.
