Default dash read out

Hi guys. My son has an 06 duramax Tha has been acting a little strange. A read out on the dash comes up RANGE SHIFT LIMITER accompanied by a widely fluctuating speedo. Usually happens on start up. Any ideas. Thanks. Niels

Man, I havent heard of that issue before, but Im sure its nothing that a new cluster cant fix. I know alot of DMAX owners have HAD TO change the cluster. Im not sure why, but I know they did..

Sounds like a dash cluster issue to me, probably too many miles to be warrantied now. I did get GM to warranty my 03 cluster on good will a few years back. Cost me $100.

I got the Range Shift Limited message on the dash after the trans started slipping badly. It was accompanied by plenty of codes however...
