'02 Tahoe custom cluster

[iamdub]

Wait….you have blue balls over this?

LOL

Not really, especially since it doesn't apply to my '08. I just like watching pioneering experiments and breakthroughs take place and he's kinda teasing us here.

I got ideas for these just spilling out of my head. What's stopping me? Time and money

 

[Electrician]

Can someone point me in the right direction as to what component(s) on the board are causing my DIC display to be noticebly dimmer than my PRND123 display? Normally it's the other way around from what I understand

 

[Tonyrodz]

Isn't it just the solder needs to be reflowed? I've read the solder cracking is what causes the displays to be dim.

 

[Electrician]

I did all the pins for the display last night and no difference. Maybe I should just run thru the entire board and if it's still dim then could maybe be the chip for that screen?

 

[Electrician]

Actually, I should have posted that question in another thread.

Ok. I'll get back on track to the thread topic now. I'm not sure how many guys there are wanting the magical adapter to plug a 03-06 cluster into a 00-02 truck (supposedly there is a working model, maybe it's just a bs rumor), but I just may have something to make you forget all about wanting to swap clusters at all. Pretty sweet. Also makes me wonder (yet again) why GM designed some of this stuff the way they did. Oh wait, duh, money
