Plug and play or what would I need to do? I know it can't be that easy to plug and play.

I posted too quick and my response is out of order. Plug and play or what do I have to do?

Yup, pnp--it'll work with nothing else to do. Hoe looks amazing Ron!

I gotcha! There just seemed to be a sudden influx lately of people mentioning replacing it and thought I missed something. I was thinking maybe they had a crappy weld on the mounting tab or something that is weakened when it's removed or maybe an updated design.

Denali cluster also has it if you can't find or don't like the Escalade cluster. Yes- plug-and-play. Hell, I plugged a Denali cluster into my '02 S10 and the trans temp gauge worked. All the gauges worked, tach was off (S10 was a V-6).
Pretty sure you'll need a late-year '03 or '04+ cluster, though. You'll also need to have the mileage programmed.

So, as @Old Goat said, the sender for the trans temp is already in the trans and I guess the wiring is ran up to the dash and as you say, plug and play. Any certain year cluster or what?

So my rig is an 05 and sounds like I can use a cluster for 2003 to 2005. Thanks.

No, mine's a 2005 Z71 2WD package. Only year they made those. 200,000 miles and still going strong. Preventive maintenance is the key.
Roof rack lights were a mod I did using halogen lights I got off Ebay. Hooked them up to the trailer hitch wiring harness with a switch under dash also for lighting things up really good at night. Really good for putting the trailer ball directly under the hitch at night. With backup camera of course.
Swapping the cluster for the tranny gauge is an option, but more expensive and you will still have to have it reprogrammed for correct odometer reading. I put in blue LED's in mine at the same time.
Wheels are 2007 Yukon.

You could check with Carl if you want to get something that's been totally re-done, and with the tranny gauge. https://www.fixmygauges.com/
When DDS was rebuilding them I sent mine to get all new backlighting LEDs, stepper motors, and the tranny gauge. He programs the VIN and mileage. I understand that he no longer repairs them, but I think his son may have taken that part over.
