Okay, that's an impala forum, I found that out from the post prior to my post. Is there one individual on that forum or a vendor that provides the service? How does one just send a cluster to a forum and get it worked on? Sorry if these appear to be simplistic questions but my crystal ball is currently out for repair. :)

Forty years ago before I became a software engineer I was an electronics technician so I know my way around a soldering iron quite well. I need to know bulb types, especially in the buttons as they go out more often than the clusters. I've found suitable replacements for the A/C panel at Radio Shack but since I haven't pulled the cluster yet I don't know if the same bulbs will work. I would like to add the transmission temperature gauge which would require a new mask and stepper motor, as well as a sending unit. Most don't sell these parts but would rather sell you a complete upgrade. Dealers and junk yards are also of very little help as they are also in the business of selling complete systems rather than individual parts.

I think you were quoted for a replacment cluster, $450-650 is what we quote for exchange units from our suppliers.

To just program your new cluster as long as we can get the software to recognize is $112.00

I dont think that is the right cluster for your ride anyways. You said you have a 2000 and that cluster is a 04 i think. If you look at the sticky section the guy has a pic of the same one and its a 04 cluster.

edit: never mind i see they have that same style for the older years, my bad.
