Such a professional, your tutelage is greatly appreciated!

[@nmmvtec]

hi @HETPEZB at the 23:00 minute mark when you enter the hours 56.36 Hours, you put 56.36 Hours, when it should've been 56 Hours, and filled in 36 in the "Tenths of an Hour" box; which is why it read 5636.0 HR during the HOURMETER reading at the 23:28 minute mark. Just FYI. Nonetheless, thank you for the great video. It really helped me make it less "complicated" than it seems, and this video definitely helps portray that.

[@Can-zv2ev]

I really liked how you work meticulously... It's time to do mine,s soon... Thank you..

[@saidaker9472]

Aferin sana , çok güzel iş çıkardın tekrar bravo .

OK, I need to do this ASAP!

[@jeffescortlx]

Nice video bud!

[@HETPEZB]

jeffescortlx , thanks Jeff. I see you keeping the good work especially with a help of the furry friend:)

[@usmalibu]

Awesome video awesome job! Do you think you could reprogram 2003-2005 CHEVY SILVERADO TAHOE SUBURBAN INSTRUMENT GAUGE CLUSTER to work on 2005 gmc savana 3500?

[@mannandsonstilemarblerichm6166]

Great video man learned a lot except for that dam parakeet in the background!!

[@romangutierrez847]

Hello I’m trying to get into rebuilding clusters I was just wondering if you could let me know how you can power in the cluster and what programs you use to change them

[@jimc9581]

Most professional cluster repair video I've seen, great job. I wish I would have seen this before I changed my stepper motors, I noticed a little corrosion and didn't think about cleaning it. Just curious, do you get many requests from people wanting to change their mileage ? Seems like there would be serious legal issues doing that. Thanks

[@jimc9581]

Never mind about the mileage question, you explained it well on your webpage. I'm going to bookmark you for my next cluster repair, Thanks again for video

[@MacMetal215]

It bugs me how easy the professionals make work like this look but when you go to attempt your best with a confident mindset you end up with a swear jar full of cash. Thanks for the video. I may or may not attempt to modify my cluster. Definitely the led lights and new display but I might pass on programing anything with a computer. I can barely program a baofeng radio

[@danielprocluster]

We can help you out we do professional Gm cluster repair

[@JesseCampbell0]

Hi there, I'm swapping out a dead cluster in my truck, decided to add trans temp at the same time following your guide, thanks! Out of curiosity, do you know which bytes in the flash hold the engine hours? I'd like to copy the engine hours from the original cluster.

[@MarcosAlcala]

I was wondering if u can just hex eddit, copy from original eprom to new flash file that has the transmission temp feature

[@floydblack5282]

I would like this same thing for my truck!

[@iamjamesonbliss]

Just phenomenal! You are a master. How much do you charge if the motors are fine?

[@HETPEZB]

What exactly are you looking to do with your cluster?

[@iamjamesonbliss]

I want to add a transmission temperature gauge to my 1999 Sierra 1500. . . as well as blue LEDs and needle pointer upgrades.

[@HETPEZB]

Jim Bliss , I apologize, we do offer this service for 03-06 clusters.

[@TY3T]

Great informative video! Do you happen to know what leds work for the mil lights like the check engine and abs etc ?

[@HETPEZB]

I don't think I understood the question.

[@TY3T]

@@HETPEZB no worries I’m talking about the warning lights that illuminate when your vehicle has a problem like the orange check engine light and abs, the red battery and seat belt lights etc

[@carter4627]

@@TY3T from what ive found in the past i think youre looking for something like the 3528 leds. but you shouldnt have to change them cause they rarely go out and they dont come in other colors

[@spikekavalench]

Amazing! How do you know which way to install the LEDs for correct polarity?

[@HETPEZB]

I went through few thousand of those clusters so I know the polarity of each backlight bulbs, but in general you van test it with a tester or simply use trial and error method.

[@brianhigginbotham4489]

Hi just found your video & I have a quick question - I wondered if this trans temp addition can be done on a 02 Chevy Silverado? I noticed several sites specifically state for 03-06 models & mines a 02. Thanks

[@HETPEZB]

Sorry, can’t say anything about 02. Don’t work on those.

[@EGGINFOOLS]

Others have found an 02 cluster with the gauge and then have someone transfer the mileage over. The gas 8.1 2500hd have them. So does the 1500 hd

[@carter4627]

the 02 are the same, the programming data is completely different so youll have to get that info from a "professional" the only differences in the years are the two lcds on the 03-06 and the programming. but the 03 and some 04s come pre programmed for trans.

[@bernalfotosport]

Hola, te escribo desde Chile y te quiero consultar, se puede hacer este mismo trabajo pero en un cluster de una Silverado 1500 del 2002? He revisado en Amazon la grafica con temperatura de aceite de caja de cambios, pero no la encuentro, me ayudarias con esa información? Desde ya muchas gracias

[@shaneintegra]

How did you do the needles so quickly? Everything I've seen they say you have to use tape and mark where all the needles are then pull them off and put back in the same spot or it wont be accurate

[@jorgejimenez4829]

Also did you line up the pointers to specifications? They seemed a little off.

[@HETPEZB]

The angle of the camera doesn't show the true position of pointers.

[@donatotaa3713]

I have a 2003 hummer h2 and have a problem to do the re solder of my speedometer gages how much do you charges for it thank you

[@jasonmiller754]

Can you also re-flash the cluster so I can add the driver information control center? I know it needs more than that, but I can take care of everything but the reflash for it And the cluster repair.

[@HETPEZB]

Yes, we do offer this upgrade (driver information center unlock).

[@MACKIE4890]

Can you take off the abs & break lights on my 2005 Silverado cluster!

[@williammccall2069]

I have an 07 Silverado Classic. I went to your web site, but didn't see an up grade to having a trans temp added. What is the cost of the adding the trans temp?

[@HETPEZB]

It’s not offered on the website - but we do charge $125 to do that.

[@chadsandefer5666]

Do the silverados all have temp sensors built in from factory or do you have to add a sensor also to add a trans temp sensor to a 2005 silverado that didnt come from factory with a trans temp sensor

[@HETPEZB]

Built in from the factory.

[@davidbennett8669]

hey I got one that the milage not coming on and no PRNDL as well. will need new pointer. up grade as well put trans gauge on and all,

[@TheFNGBenJammin]

Hi there! Does this also work for 2005? I am pretty sure that there is a difference between 99-02 (?) and 03-06 but wasn't sure if 03-04 were different from the rest. Thank you!

[@HETPEZB]

Yes, this also can be made with 2005 cluster.

[@TheFNGBenJammin]

Thanks!!

[@hunteralexander4042]

Im adding tpms to a 2004 Chevy Silverado. I have everything that's needed for tpms already installed. The only problem is that I can't get to the tire pressures on the dic. Does the cluster need this programmed for it to work?

[@HETPEZB]

Sorry, can’t answer that question. I personally don’t know if the DIC on those trucks is capable of reflecting the actual pressure values or the only thing it can show is the yellow low pressure light.

[@TheFNGBenJammin]

Hey there, my 2005 Tahoe actually displays the pressures (ex. LF: 40psi) on the DIC. I don’t know if this helps any, just figured I’d chime in.

[@angulo820]

You need to change the passenger window switch to one with tps label on it. You need the tps sensors for each wheel. Unlock tpms in the cluster. Program the parameters for the tires. Hope it helps.

[@larry40]

So is the 99 to 02 different from 03 to o4 dash clusters,,my 99 looks the same as the 03 and 04 just curious.

[@HETPEZB]

Absolutely

[@michaelbox7285]

So when you programmed it through GM online with the correct vin wouldn’t that put it back to the program without trans temp.

[@HETPEZB]

Nope. Online servers doesn’t set the transmission gauge option. Just few other settings including steering wheel controls enable/disable.

[@moejr14]

How do you set zero for all gauges after you install the new trans temp gauge?

[@HETPEZB]

I kinda know where all they suppose to be after ignition is on.

[@Born2RiffRock]

If I'm buying a new cluster can I add the transmission temp and hook it up to transmission later with a sensor into the transmission. It be null for the time being ?

[@HETPEZB]

You didn’t mention make/model/year, but if you are referring to the cluster in the video - those trucks already have the sensors in the transmissions.

[@916Sick]

How did you find a vin to write the milage with? My cluster went bad and I need to correct the mileage to my old one. My old one had a bad programming event and is completely dead so I can't rebuild it. I have access to sps but when I attempt to program it with my vin or a 2015 isuzu npr, it says its not a new cluster and cannot program.

[@HETPEZB]

SPS only updating the mileage if the cluster has 0 miles on it.

[@916Sick]

@@HETPEZB What programmer would rec for eeprom writing? I only plan on doing these gm clusters. Any good sites to read up on these procedures?

[@brianhigginbotham4489]

Just to add a lil bit more I also have a 04 Tahoe that needs the cluster reprogrammed to eliminate the service brake booster message, since it has hydroboost brakes I’m sure the cluster came from another vehicle. Can you do that also ?

[@HETPEZB]

Yes, we can reprogram it to stop to show “service brake booster”.

[@brianhigginbotham4489]

Thanks for the reply! I’m going to get ahold of you as soon as I can for that & a full service on the cluster while you have it. Thanks again!

[@joseleon1596]

I have the very same problem. How much do you charge to program it out

[@HETPEZB]

It’s $99 to get the cluster programmed for the particular VIN.

[@dkennedy9524]

Which leds you use?

[@delawaredrifttrikes2404]

Is there a number or a website? I want my cluster done. 2004 Chevy suburban need the trans temp upgrade and blue leds just like in your vid!!

[@HETPEZB]

Yep - 1-800-PIXL-FIX

[@jakechimiak9626]

So I have a 2005 GMC Sierra and if I add a transmission temp gauge to my cluster does it just work after the reprograming or do I need to add a sensor to my transmission

[@HETPEZB]

The cluster needs to be reprogrammed, but the truck already have everything needed.

[@love5022]

How much do you charge to add a temperature gauge and programming only? On a 03 Silverado 1500.

[@HETPEZB]

It’s $125.

I replaced only my speedometer motor. Everything seems to be working fine except I notice some of my different warning lights particularly the battery light stays on all the time now. It’s really faint but on. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Short on the board. Most likely oxidation.

I was told you need to add resistors to those style LED's I've got an 04 Chevy avalanche and ordered the same DIY kit am I being told the wrong thing?

There are a lot of similar looking but different specs LEDs. So you may encounter LEDs that required to add the resistors.
