My Escalade gauge cluster is finally dying. PRNDL and all backlights are dim, and several gauges are erratic. Trans temp and gas gauge in particular had me concerned. Thankfully the "miles until empty" still works so my wife shouldnt get stranded with no fuel.

What is everyone using for rebuilds? I am considering doing the work myself. But GMGaugeRepair is charging only $125 shipped +$30 for LEDs with warranty. I am not positive I can do it much cheaper or faster.

I can get an LED kit with built in resistors for $25 from them. What stepper motors should I get?

Since I bought my rig I never liked the braking power it had, it always felt like I was stopping a tank. I was planning on doing a big brake kit and figured I would try the NNBS brake upgrade first. This week I found the NNBS rotors, calipers and brake pads on OfferUp for $150, I jumped on the deal. Got them installed this afternoon and my goodness what a fking difference did it make, it stops on a dime. I'm not sure if the brake upgrade made that much difference or the oem brakes it had were shot.

Nice deal. Probably some of both. Pad compound can make a big difference. Bonus is it looks so much better too. Even behind my stock 20's the oem rotors seemed TINY. With a bigger wheel it looks comical. The NNBS front brakes just looks right.

For the price, you can't beat GMGauger repair. They did my cluster, they installed white leds and anew overlay to go with the white LEDs. Unless you do blue led lights you don't have to change the overlay. The hardest thing about doing it your self is lining up the gauge needless in the same spot, thats why I just paid.
