This just started yesterday. It was actually doing it a lot worse, the speedo jumping up and down, rpm, etc. I've never seen it do this before. It seems to run just fine, no issues there, starting or anything. Don't mind the commentary lol, 9yr olds seem to know everything lol.

Any ideas?

I've checked both fuse locations, on the side of the dash and under the hood for loose fuses. Pretty much all I've done as I'm pretty perplexed with what it's doing lol

It's the cluster itself. There are several places on Craigslist and eBay that specialize in these repairs for around $99. I took the opportunity to upgrade to an escalade cluster that also has a transmission temp gauge.

Ok, that's what I was thinking myself. Is it OK to still drive the truck or no? It seems to run and drive just fine.

It's Ok to drive the truck. These clusters have a known problem with bad soldering. I have used digital dash solutions on Ebay and was very happy with their service. You can order a reman cluster, either the same as you have or an upgrade, and they program and ship it to you. Then just swap it out and send your old one back for core refund. Same as the others I'm sure.

Awesome, thanks for the info. We're heading to Hocking hills in a few weeks for a week camping trip. We're gonna have way to much stuff to fit in our Saturn and was hoping it was OK tov drive lol

I'll check out the eBay page, thanks again.
