Do you let people send you clusters if so I have one on my 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500 and every now and then (on and off for a week at a time) and the PRND123 display will be solid blue and stuck like that and every gauge stops at once but the backlights will still work I’m kinda stumped here and I would be glad to pay good for the service of course but if you wouldn’t be able to do the service I would also like to maybe get a name of someone who would thanks

Hey Jeff do you have a social media account I can get hold of you on.

Thanks your other video with RDS unlocking
I had successful unlock of my radio
I did not use any of that equipment that you had suggested except I did use that hex editor.

I was wondering could I ship my cluster panel to you so you could upgrade the led lights and fix the speedometer needle I've watched several of your videos and love the work you do you definitely seem very knowledgeable about this kind of work you could even do a video on it I'm really looking forward to hearing from you

brandon thomas says:

What type and size solder do you prefer for this type of job?

William Padgett says:

Hey Jeff I have a cluster needing repaired how can I contact you?

Hello, came across this on my news feed yesterday. Shared watching 15 of your videos. I find it so interesting to watch. I do dabble in soldering stuff. Not this super concentrated details. I enjoyed every one of them. Now you earned a subscriber 🙂 now I wanna do some like this. I do have GM cluster in 99 suburban with wandering needle when I turn the key on, lol. I knew that stepper motor needs to be replaced. But age of the truck doesn't warrant to fix it lol. So keep on what you doing. I enjoy them!

mman454 says:

Do the gauge stepper motors make contact with the PCB using pogo pins or do they press fit into played through holes?

mman454 says:

4:36 couldn’t stand to have the numbers on the resistor upside down, could ya? 😛

Norman Thompson says:

I was wondering how do you get the speedometer and tachometer to work on the bench . Do you feed in a square wave pulse signal on vss signal input . Watch all your videos learned a lot from them , keep up the great work . Thank you

Mike says:

Great video as usual Jeff. Just to get technical though, and not that it impacts the repair at all, those clusters actually use a combination of two150 ohm and two 120 ohm resistors.

AMStationEngineer says:

Why the "selective application" of conformal coating over 'the two areas of intellect'??; nice job on the 'smuts', btw! Great "cat scan", and "Mouser" commentary, too!

Roger Maxwell says:

Unlike the odometer that is stored in non-volatile memory, I believe the trip odometer resets when the cluster loses B+. The trip odometer in my '99 Regal would reset when the battery was disconnected.

Ellesmere Wildwood says:

Does Cat ever wake you up in the morning with a dead cluster in his mouth ? :o)

Andrew K says:

New subscriber. Did the resistor just fall off? Workmanship? Vibration? Thank you for sharing.

MegaMarclar says:

What's the best way to contact you for repairs? Had mixed results on ebay

Pete Gaytan III says:

Nice! It is still interesting to see others and how they are done. Thanks for showing this one, and looking forward to others!

Review The cat!

LeaderOfWagons says:

I liked seeing this older cluster being torn down. It's kinda cool seeing how instrument clusters have evolved over the years.

Michael Adkison says:

Keep up the great content!

you worry too much about what people will think and what there already is around. just do videos and don't worry about what there is already. it don't change there are people that haven't seen those videos but might see this one. some people couldn't care less what car it is from and just watch because anyways. i mean if someone could have hundreds of videos of just riding elevators or someone fixing the same computer over and over and people keep watching them then why not you. some people want to see stuff on there vehicle too sometimes don't matter if it something simple or not. just keep doing videos and stuff because you want too and not because you think you have too and don't worry about what anyone else does or think

Eldo El says:

Do you have the mouser part number for that 150ohm resistor??

fat thar says:

Your video is more organised and will be in the history better than they handheld camra videos
