Default Speedo Problem

I'm having a problem with my speedometer. I live in an area with alot of Corvette's, Camaro's, Firebirds, and Mustangs. Hell, there are more Mustangs out here than economy cars. As a result every time I play with one of them I can't tell how fast I'm going. I end up going by the tach which only goes to 6,000. I've had my truck into overdrive at wide open while logging, but that's about the only time I have a clue how fast I'm going once I'm past 120. I'm thinking of ordering the Tahoe Z59 package cluster to fix this. I was wondering if anyone has tried this yet.

I am going to get the Aeroforce gauge, but I'd like it to be on the cluster also. It's a shame the aftermarket hasn't done a white face for it. I'd still take it as is though. I'm going to try to call on it tomorrow.

I belive it is 100% plug and play. Reason being remember in my 02 xtreme we have the 02 gmc cluster that reads 120 and it works perfect. Same body style same harness. Easy swap.

I would give it a try. I am sure your local chevrolet dealer would return it if it din work haha
