I looked on gmpartsdirect, and they wanted something like $270. Eventually, I will have to replace my guage cluster too (a bulb is out behind the speedo and I have recently lost my PRND321 lighting as well...it is there but just extremely dim). Thanks!

A few things...

I think (it?s been a while since I pulled mine apart) the PRND321 has regular light bulbs behind it, I can?t remember if they?re LED?s or not. Perhaps someone one here can verify.

The lights on the speedometer can be repaired by someone that works on them.

When I put the diesel in my mine, I needed to replace the gauge cluster with one out of an HD2500. He was able to reprogram, change and fix things I didn?t know you could do on a gauge cluster. (I found him on ebay)

The buttons on the steering wheel can be replaced by popping them out. (I know you didn?t mention it but I?m on a roll...lol)

And last but not least, you may as well suck up the 270 bucks. I was unable to find anything else... not saying it?s not out there, just for the brief amount of time I looked, I didn?t find anything.

Good luck.
