I have the identical problem with my truck (05 GMC Sierra) except its
with the tach. The speedometer seems to work fine. The dealer says
he can easily replace the cluster and reprogram the odometer.
I have used one of the trip meters since day 1 instead of the odometer
because I like the 1/10 mile indication. Just personal preference.
Does anyone know if the trip meters in a replacement cluster can be
programmed as the odometer can. I would like to keep using the trip
meter if I can.
My truck has 69700 miles. That's just under the 70K mile warranty
limit that has been discussed in this thread. The warranty book that
came with my truck only lists a 36K mile warranty. Am I missing
something here?
