Cluster compatibility - Tahoe / Silverado 99-02

[KiwiClive]

Hi guys,
first off I live overseas in New Zealand so I don't have access to the massive amount of parts you do. I am currently importing a 01 Tahoe. It should arrive next week or next one after. I saw in the pics I was sent the fuel guage may be suspect but I would also like a trans temp guage. I have seen a 99-02 Silverado 1500 cluster for sale which has the trans guage but the seller says it is not compatible. I thought as long as the year was right it should be a straight swap after the correct mileage is programmed into it. Can you confirm? Thanks in advance

I could be wrong but I think 99-06 are interchangeable.

Here was a thread worth reading. I came across it a few months ago. It might help.

Update to adding trans temp gauge...

So much info in here! Thanks @DougAMiller so much for all the hard work. Ordering a bunch of stuff today. Will post when I get it done!

One option was to add a OBDII Scan Gauge to display the transmission temp. readings and other things...
Other parts of the discussion involved changing some programming code in the computer to allow the cluster to display the temp.

They are not. The 2003-2006 years were upgraded to a newer CANBUS style data system throughout the truck, which the 2000-2002 trucks are not compatible with.

Thanks - after reading the threads and thinking about it - ( cost vs reward ) I ordered a Scan Guage 2 and will mount that somewhere. Thanks again
