Speedometer Needle Stuck

[NoMoGMPG]

There is a special policy adjustment for this issue, take it to a Chev/GMC dealer and it should be covered under warranty, Hummer dealers I can't speak for. They can pre-order a cluster after they take a tech2 scan for the cluster ID number and hours/mileage. Once it comes in, make an appointment to have it installed.

special policy doesn't cover H2 speedos. Got extended warranty???

Thanks guys, My Hummer dealership service manager is an awesome guy. He did me a favor and got it done for free. It's getting fixed next week.

I disagree, I have personally have had 2 H2's done under GM's Special policy at my dealership. It covers all GMT800 platforms. They (being GM) know they have an issue with clusters from 2001-2006.

I have this same problem with my speedo and Rpm needles. Mine is an 03 and no warranty left. Is this something i can do on my own or am i screwed.

I have a 2005 H2 with 38K miles when I had the same problem a couple of months ago.

I first noticed it when I was driving down the road in a 55 zone and past a cop going the other way. I about sh-t when I glanced down at my speedometer and it said I was doing over 100MPH ! I do sometimes have a lead foot but not this bad (At least not that day). I was probley doing about 65mph. The cop didn't turn around so I knew I couldn't have been going that fast. As I slowed down to a stop my speedometer came down to about 60mph and would not go any lower.

I took it to the local HUMMER service dept the next week. They ended up replacing my whole gauge cluster. They said that as a goodwill jesture they would only charge for the labor ($165) since my truck was just bearly out of warranty and had noted another problem with my gauge about a year ago.

I was pleased not have to pay for the complete replacement cost but was wondering if I should have been charged for labor since there seems to be a ploblem with some GM clusters? My truck is out of warranty but is this cluster problem an exception to the standard warranty?

Just wondering if this is something that can be easily replaced, like is it just plugged in or something. Reason i ask is because my intire dash is taken out and i have easy access to it now.

My gauge cluster has been acting screwy too. Problem is everytime I want to bring the damm thing in to get replaced ( I bought extended warranty). The damm needle fixes itself and works properly for weeks on end and then it trips out just when I least expect it ...

Every GM dealership knows about this condition. Just take it in and tell them the speedo needle is sticking and depending on what your mileage is, it will be some sort of warranty coverage. It could be a 50-50, or part only and you pay labor, or if you have an extended warrant it will only cost your deductible.
