Consumer Description

ABOUT A YEAR AGO, MY SPEEDOMETER WENT CRAZY (~80,000 MILES), AND A FEW DAYS AGO MY FUEL GAUGE FOLLOWED SUIT (117,000 MILES). I SAW THE SAME PROBLEM WIDELY MENTIONED ON THE INTERNET, INCLUDING AN ACTUAL RECALL ON THE TRUCKS WHICH USE THE SAME INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. DEALER SAID REPAIRS WOULD BE $300-$500 WHICH I COULDN'T AFFORD, SO I JUST USED THE TACHOMETER TO GAUGE MY ROADSPEED. CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THE FUEL GAUGE THOUGH. *TR
