just wondering, if i were to switch out my stock silverado cluster with a brand new escalade cluster, will my mileage go back to 0 or is the mileage stored in the computer and it would stay the same? Thanks.

 

Welcome to LS1tech.

The mileage will go to 0. You can either have the new cluster reprogrammed or bring it to a dealer and have them put one of those adjusted mileage forms on you door.

 

Thanks JR, kind of figured that would be the case but i was hoping i wouldnt have to do all that. oh well, have to think about this one, even though the gauge does look good.

 

And if you dont already have a trans temp gauge the Escalade cluster has one and it will work!

 

Not wanting to hi jack, but what wire in the guage cluster harness gives the trans temp? Was looking about putting in an autometer guage and thought I'd see if I could get a signal from here before having to crawl under the truck and put in a sending unit.

 

Not compatible. Use the sending unit that comes with gauge.

 

AUTOCRAFT ELECTRONICS in Carollton, TX will do the mileage swap for you for around $65.00 plus shipping.

 

Why wouldn't it be compatible. I mean if it's an electric guage nothing will be running into the cab from the sending unit but the electrical wire. Therefore I don't understand why you couldn't just pick a signal up from the wiring harness if there is already a signal going to it. I just need to know which wire, is for trans temp, and I'll try it. It's worth a shot at least.

 

For example: if one sender uses 0-50 ohms to show 100-200 degrees and another sender uses 30-120 ohms to show 100-200 degrees, you can see how the temp reading on the gauge would be inaccurate.

The gauge and sender work in conjunction with each other. If the gauge is expecting 25 ohms to show 150 degrees, but instead receives a 75 ohm reading, then the gauge will go off the scale (according to my example in the first paragraph)

 

Alright, well than does any one know what ohm the stock sender uses? Cause than I could just look at that when buying the guage.
