if its over 70k under 80k could be higher they will just charge you labor... i only got charged half hour..

 

does anyone know about how many years its warranty, i have only 61k miles but the trucks an 04.5 and my stepper motor went out (had the same thing happen on my SS silvy at 100k and cost me 500$ to fix) i was taking it in this week to get it alighned and wanted to know if they could do it for basically free i guess, if not part number on ebay for the stepper motor?

 

408.Luke I have an 04.5 and Mine went out a few months ago at 75000 just take it to the dealer tell them its the speedometer and they should do yours for nothing i had to pay the labor which was 75.00. But you are right it is 500 bucks or so to fix otherwise. Also remember that Chevy warranties all their work for a year or 12,000 miles i believe it is because about 3 months after they put the new one in mine it went bad again and it was fixed completely free. Mines running fine again. Hope the info helped.

 

Ive got the new stepper motor i just need to put it in, I really dont want to go to the dealer ship cus they will find a 100 things wrong then probably refuse to work on it cus blah blah blah... but just search silverado stepper motor on ebay a guy there sells the new model in sets of 1, 6 (for the gas trucks) and 7 (for the duramax because of the trans temp gauge) i bought one and it was like 10$ shipped, instructions are also included and its not suppose to fail like some of the other stepper motors being sold.

 

the dealership told me that they had a bulletin for the stepper going out so the relpaced it for free they changed the entire cluster so now I have 2 tripometers instead of one.
