I've needed to fix the instrument cluster on the UglyTruck for some time since the PRNDL indicator was on the fritz, and I needed a higher speedometer and a trans temp gauge. On a 99-02 GMT800 truck, you can install a Denali or Escalade instrument cluster from the same year range, which gains you a 120 mph speedometer and a factory trans temp gauge. Its a plug and play installation, but you will need to correct the odometer if you want everything to be like factory. Uglytruck has well over 300,000 miles and the stepside has about half that, and I wanted to keep the odometers reading accurately. I needed a good tool, and luckily this opportunity came along, so I was happy to do a review of their tool!
Update: it looks like they've sold out of the MT601, but they do have some other tools for you to check out...

What an awesome tool. Kudos to OBDZON for sure. I did this swap on two of my GMT800 trucks, although I went with the Platinum Escalade cluster. I went to Speed-O-Tach in Concord, CA (sadly, no longer in business) to have them adjust the odometer and engine hours.

Denali gauge cluster swap is awesome The aqua glow is my favorite part. . I did it in my daily driver 2001 single cab long box 5.3. The unit I bought happen to have a few hundred more miles than what my truck was at, so I bought it and just drove up to the mileage before installing.

[@LawrenceTolman]

I put some cool white LEDs in the cluster in the uglytruck and because of the blue filter they come out blue which looks cool, but on the stepside I kept the stock bulbs, and love the green as well.

[@richardharvey8939]

ISS automotive great source for reman clusters. No deposit hassle. Shorter warranty if you don’t send yours or lifetime if returned in 60 days I think when I got mine last year. I got the blue leds and love it. My cluster was not repairable because someone had been in it before and their repair broke.

[@goptools]

Hi LT, Glad that you were able to correct the mileage through the OBD2 port. That is way easier than doing it with an EEPROM programmer. Especially if you need to unsolder and re-solder the daughter board on the cluster. Thanks for the video! -mike

[@LawrenceTolman]

yeah, I wasn't looking forward to doing any soldering, glad this worked out

[@MrTydriver]

Neat tool. I'm glad to see something like this finally hit the market for us common guys. I've always just sent my cluster out to have it reprogrammed. Does anyone know if they make tools to interrogate/flash the BCM on GM's ?

[@bassackwards8821]

I would imagine if milage was going to be taxed per mile, big tech would be incorporated in that with some sort of gps registered and installed on each vehicle.

[@foxrace0985]

Can that adjust the speedometer for different size tires?

[@LawrenceTolman]

No, that’s stored in the ECM and you’ll need a tuner like Efi live or hp tuners, or some handheld hyper tech sort of thing to do that

[@georgef1176]

Hey LT is the background lights in cluster (the numbers and lines bulbs) are those stock color bulbs or did you change them? I recently soldered blue bulbs into my TBSS and they are almost blotchy cause they shine too brightly.

[@LawrenceTolman]

so these Denali clusters normally shine through with a light green color from the factory (yellow bulb + blue filter) and when I swapped out the stock bulb for a cool white LED, the light passes through the blue filter, and you get blue up front. I got the widest angle LED bulbs I could

[@georgef1176]

Ahh ok. Thanks for the info LT.

I noticed when selecting the year of the Silverado it showed 1997-2001 then the next line was 2003-2006 skipping the 2002 model year. That occurs at 6:41 in the video. Can you select a 2002 model?

[@LawrenceTolman]

yeah, I saw that, and I think it's just an error in how they listed the years of the trucks on the menu. The 1997 and 1998 chevy fullsize truck still used an analog odometer anyway, so I'm pretty sure you would just select the 97-01 option if you have a 2002 truck, since they share the same electronics

If you change clusters with one that has trans temp does the trans temp work or is there other modifications to make ? Would like to have trans temp in mine

[@jonathanposs4448]

What about how the cluster reads the transmission temp. That would be an interesting short video idea.

[@billm1101]

Trans temp is read through the engine/ transmission computer.

[@Mr_Ruhl]

The trans temp gauge will read correctly just by plugging in the new cluster.

[@LawrenceTolman]

The information is already there with the stock transmission and wiring, and it’s already being broadcast on the data lines into the cluster so all you do is plug in the cluster, and it works

Is it possible to do an all wheel drive conversion on a 99 Chevy Express van? Mine is rear wheel drive

[@tg2963]

So I saw your video on swaping from the electric shift transfer case to the manual one and I was wondering how hard it would be with a 1997 c1500 suburban since there is no torsion bars if it would be easier to put a transfer case in it and can I change out the output shaft on the trans to run my trans my plans are to straight axle swap it and what's different on the 6 lug axle vs the 5 lug axle can I just bolt a 6 lug rear axle in it or does it require modification

[@LawrenceTolman]

5 or 6 lug axle shouldn't matter much, they have the same yoke for the driveshaft to bolt up to and in a 1/2 ton they are both an 8.5" 10-bolt anyway. There are stronger axles out there like the 14 bolt semi floater or full floater if you are going to be running big tires and doing some more agressive off roading. And yes, you can take apart your transmission and swap output shafts to allow a transfer case to bolt up to. Then, you're on your way to SAS.

[@tg2963]
