Nuttin' to mine today, but yesterday I pulled the cluster out of my neighbor's Hoe. Started the cluster re-work today. I'll fix dead bulbs and replace the stepper motors. Here's a pic of the board with the old steppers and the two dead backlights marked with red:

Not on this one. It's the neighbors' Hoe that needs a tranny they can't afford so they're not driving it. They're not sure what they'll do with it, they owe a pile of money on it and I offered to clean up the cluster. It's good practice for me and I'm doing it for free just to see what it takes.

Thanks, @Sam Harris and @Rocket Man. They may eventually get a tranny for it so at least for now they'll be able to tell how much gas is in it. They tried to start it the other day -- they run it every couple of weeks or so to make sure it runs -- but it was out of gas and they couldn't tell by the gauge. It was pointing straight down. We added a couple of gallons and the 4.8L fired right up.

EDIT: if I had the wherewith-all and a decent place to work I'd help them with the tranny. They're good neighbors and help out where they can.

AUX fan. I am in the tropics, this helps a lot when just idling with the A/C on.

i know its not a huge fan, but you got a relay wired in? they put far less of a strain on the battery when you use one. i did twin 16 inch fans, and removed my clutch fan years ago. i put them on a switch and a relay for each fan.

I bought an 05 Escalade esv a little over a month ago
82k miles on it


Had the cluster redone
Had a deck put in it for Bluetooth/ CarPlay
In the process of changing all the bulbs to led and I ran into an issue with the door light
Bulb is too big
Light casing seems to be glued together

Any advice on this one?
Thanks!
