Man those are expensive. I got mine for $34.95 shipped. It was from a salvaged '00 Yukon Denali.

haha if you know how to use a socket on a drive then yes.... Just buy it, set your odometer and plug her in... and hopefully you have a working one!

How do you set the odometer on these? I got the esky cluster for my 97 tahoe and i didnt know there was a way you could change the mileage.

Here you go: http://www.fullsizechevy.com/forums/...r-removal.html
Glad to pass it along. My advice is to switch your trip also. The trip on the new cluster kept getting stuck after a few miles....

Instructions are pretty simple. What the above thread doesn't mention is that the face of the gauge is held in by "friction" and not bolts. So when prying the cavity open, don't worry about there being any bolts. When looking at the back of the unit, you can't actually see the pins that are pushing through the back. These pins are what holds in in using friction. Its kinda hard to explain it. Maybe i'll use my old gauge to make a "how-to" on this.

Man...........that sucks about the link, it was pretty good.....I guess it just means I need to do our own right up. Until then, I'll give you the steps in writing.

Take the cluster out of your dash.

When looking at the front, begin to pry with a flat head screw driver or something similar on the left side or the center top (or both) to begin the separation from the black face plate to the plastic back housing. This will not come easily but if you pry where I said you will not break anything, just take your time. Again there are "pins" or the contact points where each gauge instrument makes contact with the electrical sheet on the back of the housing. This is all that holds it together.

Once apart, flip the black face plate over and using a torx screw driver, unscrew the odometer and in my opinion your trip also. Pay attention to not loose the little red plastic gear combination thingy because once you unscrew them, this will be free and easily lost. (If you loose it, I’ll send ya mine as I got an extra).

Installation is the reverse.

Pics and a write up will come soon.
