Awesome video! Thank you.

Phil Melillo -Endless- says:

Did you happen to see what they named the truck?

Hugh Wilson says:

Brian. I have a 1985 Chevy G30 van. As I understand it, they were all essentially the same from '68 though '96 but from '97 onward, Chevy trucks and vans have substantially different. Any tips on accessing the instrument cluster on an '85 G30? Thanks.

Bidenflation victim says:

Thank you for the video so is it possible just to disconnect a couple warning lights? I have a short in the brake warning and seat belt lights, brake warning flashes and beeps constantly if my Silverado isn't stopped

Ben Tedesco says:

EXCELLENT VIDEO, Thank you!!

bee bop says:

Great time to clear the dust from the front cover.

Oldnavy says:

I would of thought to disconnect the battery first to eliminate battery drain.

Dallascowboys1 says:

Thanks for the connector information

Tim Greenshields says:

Another excellent video…..good comments….clear and steady video. I don't think you need the music because it's a bit annoying and interferes with your verbal directions. Thanks for helping us. Tim in Colorado

Andrew Buchko says:

VERY HELPFUL THANK YOU

Ben Brylski says:

need to remove wire harness, from the airbag controller up into the dash

Ben Brylski says:

I have a chevy spark 2013, how do you remove the the bottom facial on the dash

Raul M perez III says:

What size socket man??

Julian Burke says:

Don't you think it would be a very good idea to turn the key switch off before removing the plug to the instrument cluster? You did not cover this point and removing plug with power on can do irreparable damage to the instrument cluster.

Kristopher Hasenbuhler says:

How long does this take in total?

John Whitehead says:

Hi, there away to put in an after market stereo and still control with the steering wheel?

J Rock says:

Is the repair the same for manual shift gmc odometer not lighting up?

Gabriel Arroyo says:

MrRojoneck says:

Harrison A says:

Great video brother! Thanks for keeping it informative and yet straight to the main points!

Todd Miller says:

Thanks great repair video…

Richard Ragusa says:

I forgot to mention that the repairs need to be made on a 1998 GMC Sierra 1500 Pick up.

Richard Ragusa says:

Brian what suggestions do you have for getting the blower for AC/Heat up and running? I already changed the relay that is above the glove box. Is it hard to change out the actual blower motor. Great Video.

Mark Watson says:

DIY Brian: Great instructional video. It got even greater when you knocked off the crappy music near the end.

StayCAV says:

I'm thinking of doing this to my 97 Tahoe. What all is involved after the installation? Any programming of the CPU and/ or legal issues do to incorrect mileage. I'm not selling it ever (its a 2 door lol).  Just curious, thanks.
