I used this guy. Set up the deal through emails rather than eBay. I had him add blue LED lighting and change the mileage and VIN on my new cluster I got from a junk yard.
There are several others, but can't speak for their products.

Awesome!! Thanks for the info it's exactly what I was wondering as I tow my boat once a year about 800 miles in a trip besides hitting my local boat launch. Boat and trailer are about 5k so it can handle it but always nice to be able to watch the vitals.

I bought my 03 Z71 with 44,700 miles on it last year. I paid $13,400. One elderly owner all receipts. Did you do better than I did?

I have been wanting to upgrade my cluster to look like an escalade one with blue led lighting.

Congratulations! What a sweet deal. I bought my '05 Z71 new with all available options and have had almost zero problems. It now has almost 150k miles. Changed an a/c actuator, a 4wd electronic component, shocks and rear brake pads. That's all! Knock on wood, but has been a great vehicle and I drive it daily.

Be glad you don't have factory nav. It costs $200/year for an updated map disc and you can't use the nav and a CD at the same time unless you play the CD from the rear entertainment console. I can buy a new Garmin each year cheaper than that. Plus, my nav does sometimes fail to read the disc (possible dust inside it).

Ya, I've used it before and thought it wasn't user friendly in general. I use my phone if I need NAV anyways. What dhocks did you end going with? I'll need to replace mine at some point-

AC Delco 540-67 & 540-68. OEM replacements. Made a big difference in ride and cornering. Looked at other brands but just wanted the factory ride. Very pleased with them.
