Ok, well I figured it was the cluster anyways. I plan on getting a new one with the trans temp gauge in it eventually anyways, so I won't mess with it right now. Its not that bad just yet.

I had my shaft replaced Too, but I Did hear that they are just lubing them now, That's a half assed way if you ask me, You buy a truck that should be built right and if its not they need to fix it so it is right. This is why i buy chevrolet in the first place, Its the best.

First they will ask you for the VIN on your truck and then they will tell you they have never seen an SS dash and then they will sharpen their teeth as they get ready to suck the blood out of you..... They are evil!!! Do not ask a stealership to do it right when you can't talk stock......

Is someone talkin?

Where'd you take it Chago? Every place I talk to now say they just lube it up. I'm actually supposed to go by the dealer today after work and have them do it, but I'm not expecting much with just the lube.

Hey, screw you Curtisback Mountain

I took it to Gay Pontiac/GMC in Dickinson - I'm sure they'd hook you up since your love interests match their dealership name.
