03 Denali new on the scene

[Flexxicon]

So finally back after a month on the road doing some shows.

Thanks again for the advice you guys have given so far.

It seems my rear diff cover is leaking and it's driving me nuts.

I also believe I have a leak around the oil pan.

Any suggestions on shops or mechs in Minneapolis?

I used https://www.fixmygauges.com/

On my tahoe, added the trans gauge, replaced all stepper motors, changed out needles and upgraded stencil background to the SS one. Also changed all the digital lights to blue, they did a good job!

There's a writeup to fix it if you search, and are inclined enough to do it.. it's about $20-$25 to fix the cluster yourself.. pretty common to find plenty of people who can fix it on here, or ebay. You might find someone recommended for $100-$200.

But isn't the odometer different from the stepper motors and needles?

I'm thinking there maybe either damage or false contacts.

Yes. Usually it just needs the solder reflowed in the odometer to fix it.

OK any recomendable guys that may do this? Or is it easy enough that I could tackle it?

X3 on fixmygauges.com. They do excellent work! I had them program my Escalade cluster to the correct mileage on my truck and it’s perfect! If you’re comfortable with a soldering kit, you could resolder the contacts for the odometer screen. I’m not skilled enough with it to do the job. There’s a member here, @ScottyBoy that can do the stepper motors and gauge backlighting. I would think he’d be able to do the odometer screen as well since it’s basically them same thing. I sent my Eascalde cluster to him to have him do the led lighting and new stepper motors for the needles and he does a fantastic job! Still need pics of the truck too! Haha

I love that color! It was the color I wanted when I was looking to buy a GM full size lol.

Welcome to the forum, thats a great color. Denalis themselves will lead to higher maintenance cost compared to Tahoes and lower trim model Yukons simply due to AWD and more electronic features of the vehicle. For me, this added cost was worth it for the big motor, creature comforts, and stylish exterior.

Side bar; people have mentioned the water pump, curious on what people think of doing the timing set and oil pump at the same time. If indeed a pan gasket is needed and the water pump is leaking, wouldn't it be prudent to replacing the timing set and oil pump also. Aren't you already at the timing cover?
