    Not sure if this is in the right area or not, so I posted it here....

    I read in an ebay advertisement for a Denali gauge cluster that all the wiring is already in place (as well as the sensor) for the transmission temp sensor/gauge and that GM just didnt put the upgraded cluster in the trucks on the 1500 models unless you bought a Denali/Escalade ETC..

    Is this true ?

    Can I just swap the clusters out on my 1500 and get the trans temp gauge option to work ? I really like the sound of this option but I dont want to buy the $200 ~ cluster to try it out if it wont work..


    Any ideas ? Comments? Thoughts ?

    You&#39;ll have to have your mileage reprogrammed onto your &#39;new&#39; gauge cluster, or just add a decal to your door jab stating the mileage is not correct (legal issue). The mileage is not only store in the ECM, but the cluster as well.

    There are a couple of places where you can have the new cluster reprogrammed with the old mileage and engine hour information. You dealer can do this for you and you don&#39;t need any other disclosures, because everything is correct.

    Thanks guys for the information. I&#39;m just curious how the reprogramming is done ?

    I am not trying to avoid any mileage issues or anything like that. I just want the upgraded cluster.

    How is the programming done ? Do I need to bring the NEW or OLD cluster to the dealership installed ?

    I can swap out the cluster, I just need to know which one should be in the truck when I goto dealership.. I guess I can just call the dealership up but was hoping for some insight from you guys. The dealerships around here are like when it comes to this kinda thing...

    From what I have read is leave your original in your truck, they will program your &#39;new&#39; cluster, then you go home and install it.

    Thanks guys, I appreciate the information. I &#39;spose I oughta call the Stealership up and see what they charge and how they wanna do it... But you guys have given me some good insight. Worst case scenario, I will call that place up in Houston and see what they say. I&#39;d rather avoid dealing with the mail system if I could tho....

    I don&#39;t remember for sure because it was several years ago, but I think it was &#036;35. I remember at the time that I thought it was inexpensive.
