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.
