How To Set The Pointers 99-02 GM Instrument Clusters

This video is a how-to guide on setting the pointers (needles) on a 1999 to 2002 GM instrument cluster. This would include trucks and SUVs such as the Chevy Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon, Sierra. Viewer requested video.

Sorry If I don't super energetic in this one. I have a cold or something. I just wanted to get this video done because it was requested a while ago.

Thank you for your generosity

What if you have them air motors , and the gauge just stopped working or didn’t work at all when you got the vehicle. Could it be the board or the grease in them?

[@MarkHrbek]

Pulled the speedometer motor out of my 97 blazer cluster and forgot to look at the orientation. The board attaches directly to the speed/odom, and the board has 1-4 for speedometer. Seems to be able to go back in 2 different directions for pin out...Any help on correct orientation. Back of can has a 3 on it. The odometer has A+/A- and B+/B- so that's not help...

How much u charge to install trans temp I want to install it on my cluster I have the leds down packed on the 00 to 02 and 03 to 06

[@ASB160]

is the oil you use just normal engine oil or is there a type for these

[@frankievalentin533]

I replaced the gas gage. Fill the tank. Then plugged in the cluster with the front off. Started the car and put the pointer on full. When I shut it off it goes down to the bottom right. What did I do wrong? Thanks!

[@BrianSmith-df2kn]

Great video, I'm adding trans temp. Using ipc hammer. I was going to use parts from another cluster. What would keep you from using stepper motors as replacments?

[@davidnickell269]

I have a question so my lil pressure gauge was out so I changed my oil stepper motor and when I put it back together I put the needle to zero and when I go to turn the key but not turn the engine the needle goes past the 80 and stays there and won’t go back to zero

[@Blakep7704]

How do you set the speed needle on the 98 obs?

[@Mark-jw2vz]

I may be a little slow but I have 99 Tahoe obs. I want to calibrate the gas gauge and I’m trying not to spend the money to fill up my tank. I notice you powered the board. Does that automatically set it to a home position?

[@jesuspena5366]

Could I use a stepper motor from the volt gauge or oil pressure gauge if I’m in a pinch ? From a 99-02

[@OverlandGarage]

What is the tool your using in this video I'd like to get one

[@bam19040]

Are we ok to use our set points at 12.6 volts rather than 14 volts? (I.E. key on in the vehicle.)

[@xanthousproxy5937]

I have a speedo that does nothing or goes wild... is that a cluster issue or is it perhaps more the wheel speed sensors?

[@silentbravo]

Nice, added to favorites for future reference.

Hi I am currently working on my brothers 2001 Silverado cluster thanks to your videos I was able to fix display I got a cluster plug from local junkyard to make my own bench tester but I need your help I got everything to work except lightbulbs. Can you please tell me what to do to get all cluster lightbulbs on. By using home made bench tester. If possible

[@FixedUntilBroken]

It's just 12v on the illumination pin to light the lights up. Make sure all your grounds are connected. If you need the pin out it turns up on Google.

[@darbythompson7020]

Which pins do you give power and ground? Without that info what am I supposed to do lol

[@Itsme83.]

I took my 06 silverado needles off and marked them and put them back the same way I’m pretty sure but now they’re off a little. 😩😩

[@reddevilzo6193]

Ok so I tried this with my sons truck because his speedo needle was way off.. had it powered up just like you did and noticed when I powered it down it fell way under zero and is again off by 12mph ..

[@danieljimenez2373]

What pins are you using to set oil pressure to zero?

[@FixedUntilBroken]

Its labeled on the pinout but its A1.

[@pacotrujillp5576]

What oil do you use for motors

[@drewsfoodforest_tv]

What oil do you use in the these air cooled motors?

[@nellywannamaker]

Will be nice if you can do a video replacing the part . Please

[@samjackson8898]

I have 2002 3500 dually gas and the cluster is going little giggly and some of the needles are bouncing can u fix it how much would it be or were can I contact u ?

[@danielprocluster]

I do GM cluster repair as well you still the cluster repair?

[@johnluliak]

Wow! you were not even close to being on point. The majority of gauge fails is the FUEL gauge. so you show the Speedometer? Really? Also you were all over the place. Try not to be on something that speeds you up, caffeine or whatever. LOL You were using 13.4 or 13.5 volts vice 14. So for the DIY crowd what should it be? charged batt should be around 13.5 initial or when engine running/alternator 13.5 to 14 volts. Some helpful info you did give was the needle positions with key on.

[@adrianordonez6304]

Shut up
