I'd like to just get the overlay. I would go aftermarket, but I don't know who does them for our trucks with a manual transmission.

Who did you go through to fix your speedo. I mean the dealership or Regency? Mine has a messed up speedo. It isnt working correctly. I figured I was screwed since its out of warranty but there is a GM bulletin on the clusters up to 70K miles I believe?

I had the problem with my speedo. I went to my local chevy dealer and they refused to work on my truck because it was a regency. The local regency dealer said they would have to send my cluster out and it would take at least 2-3 weeks for the repair. The said the truck had to stay with them (i couldnt just bring them the cluster), which meant my truck would be in the back of there shop, outside for 3 weeks in winter. I ended up pulling the cluster myself, soddering new stepper motors and lights (that were burnt out) myself.

Its not too bad, Just dont break any lights in the process. Everything is soddered...use a sodder sucker to remove the sodder. The biggest challenge is realigning the needles. Make sure you mark the needle positions b4 u remove them.
