I have seen an interest in wanting a better aftermarket gauge cluster for the 99-02 and 03-06 fullsize Chevrolet/GMC trucks (Silverado/Sierra). I, on behalf of the members of Performancetrucks.net, am asking you to help us make this gauge cluster become a reality.

I am aware that you have done conversions in the past/currently for the 98-02 F-body gauge cluster, converting them from 160mph to 200mph.

We have a great interest in a conversion from 120mph to 140mph or 120mph to 160mph and also from 6,000rpm to 7,000rpm.

I have 2 links to threads in the forum expressing great interest in this gauge cluster. One of them is displaying for you, exactly how much interest there is in a customized gauge cluster via a public poll with over 50 members willing to buy at this time( which will only grow with time). The other is one that you posted in saying, "We probably could if you could get enough people together."- referring to the 140mph or 160mph speedometer conversion. I believe we have enough people together now, if you need more to justify the costs(I know R&D isn't cheap), let me know and i will spread the word more and create more interest.

https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=393761 - poll thread

https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=349111

I would like to discuss with you what our options are to get this started and if more than one style would be available for conversion(see poll thread).

Please reply back soon and many thanks.

Sincerely,

Andrew Henley
This is the initial email I sent them. I forgot to save the two other emails I sent.

I wonder if the stock tach will go that high. In other words instead of trying to modify the electronics, will the needle move that far up the scale? If so, they should be able to make a gauge face that will cover that end of the RPM range.

im not familiar with the electronics on these clusters but a couple members have told me that it would work to just extend the markings on the face and take off the peg.

personally i could do without the 140-160 speedo and just have a 7k tach
