2004 Gauge "recal" question
 

Reposting verbatim for a friend in a different forum:

========================================
GM has extended the warranty on these, and I need to get mine fixed. I have heard that all they do is reconnect some wires behind the gauges. I called the dealer and they say they have to check the numbers to see if they have to do the wire thing or swap gauge clusters.

The problem is I have a Regency conversion pickup with custom gauges. I don't want them to swap these out for the stock ones.

Has anyone gone to the dealer for this? What has been your experience?

as long as the truck came from the dealer with these guages installed then they will replace with the same guages. I never heard of doing a "re-wiring" thing. what they do is perform a "sweep test" and if the cluster fails then they replace and reprogram the cluster set
This recall is a 7 year 70 thousand mile extended warranty for 2003-2004 fullsize trucks and suv`s only.
I work for an extended care warranty company so we do see these alot!!!

i had this done 3 times in about 1 yr to my 2004(all under warranty), i am pretty sure they changed the whole cluster all 3 times. it only took a few hours each time.joe
