2004 Silverado electric speedometer
Has anyone else had a problem with their electric speedometer in their GM vehicles? The factory speedometer in my 2004 Silverado goes crazy when the temperature drops below 40 degrees. Above 40 degrees or so ... no problems. The odometer works like it should even when the speed indication is off. The speedometer is usually high by 30 to 40 MPH ... when it goes crazy.
When the temperature is above 40 degrees ... the speedometer works as it should. I do not want to have to move to Miami ... to have a accurate speedometer  Thanks in advance Deuce

The only thing the one in my '00 Silverado does is jump to 60 once it hits 55. Other than that it works fine.

GM did a recall on these- the clusters were replaced free if less than 75000
miles- maybe this is one that was bad. Check w dealer if yours was replaced.

Depending on how much you are over- try talking to your dealer- with GM's
sales as bad as they are they will not want to lose a customer over something you did not get. Worth a try. Jim

We didn't get a recall notice either on our 04 Tahoe. The speedo just slowly quit working, then the tach. Took it in under GM Extended protection plan (60,000 miles) and the service writer told me of the recall. I would take it in anyway and raise hell. That speedo/gage cluster is about $800 I was told.
No part number was listed on the repair receipt I have, just says "Replaced & programmed instrument cluster as per special policy" Vince Last edited by 302 Z28; 10-27-2008 at 06:33 PM.

My 04 is at 112 thousand ... ( 5 trips to California from here in the Carolinas ... and staying out west for a few weeks each trip ) ... adds up.
I will go speak with my dealer ... I have bought 5 or 6 new cars/trucks from him. Almost bought a new 08 about a month ago ... but he could not find a 08 with the equipment I want. He thinks I am going to order a 09 ... so he may bend the rules a little  Thanks for ALL the info.

Randy you may be able to remove the gage cluster and clean the contact surfaces where it plugs into the wiring harness. I have heard sometimes that fixes the issue.
