This is why. I can clean both ends of it and make sure there is flow thru it, but I cannot see inside that tube and I have it off and it is not expensive, so I am replacing it. It is just another thing on my list that I can check off and move on with no "unknowing". I know I have said I like to spend other people's money but I like to spend my money too, on my rig.

But, thanks for asking.

There are lots of non wear items that get replaced just because. I am a "just because" guy, within reason.

I gotcha! There just seemed to be a sudden influx lately of people mentioning replacing it and thought I missed something. I was thinking maybe they had a crappy weld on the mounting tab or something that is weakened when it's removed or maybe an updated design.

I posted too quick and my response is out of order. Plug and play or what do I have to do?

Denali cluster also has it if you can't find or don't like the Escalade cluster. Yes- plug-and-play. Hell, I plugged a Denali cluster into my '02 S10 and the trans temp gauge worked. All the gauges worked, tach was off (S10 was a V-6).

Pretty sure you'll need a late-year '03 or '04+ cluster, though. You'll also need to have the mileage programmed.

Yea, program mileage and asked @Tonyrodz what year so maybe he and you agree which year to get.
