Anyone have a source/part number for the transmission temp gauge for an add on to 03-06 Tahoe/Yukon? I have 2 Tahoes that I want to convert when I rebuild their instrument clusters this summer.

There's plenty of gauge rebuilders that will add it to your old gauge for $100 or less. Or maybe buy an overlay with the trans gauge on it and put in a stepper motor and you're done. One of the members did it that way.

Id rather just get the parts and do it myself. I rebuild my own clusters. No way in hell im paying anyone $100 to do anything that Ive done myself. The sierra works great and that one was rebuilt 5 years ago and its the OBS.

I updated mine for like $100, and added a nice white SS gauge backing with LEDs as well.

The Tahoes im just going to keep looking factory with exception to addidng the tranny temp gauge. I put my $$ into the Denali and it of course already has one. Anyone know of any places that sell the temp gauge? All these rebuilders have to be getting them from somewhere.

I added the trans gauge with another stepper motor soldered in. It's really not hard at all to complete.

The night picture is cool. Im not digging the daytime bright white. Just not my style. I am going to convert all of mine over to LED. Its no problem to do the soldering and installing the steppers. Ive done it before on my 99 OBS Sierra. I have my own soldering station. I was a ET in the industrial field for 10yrs and I owned a guitar amp repair shop for 5yrs up until I became a Federal Electronic Technician.

I have a 2003 Yukon Denali, and the stepper motor for my battery gauge has died. I would like to do the repair myself. Based on the research I've done so far, I'm leaning towards replacing all 7 stepper motors while I have the instrument cluster out. Not sure if I'll bother with the bulbs.
However, I have zero experience soldering/desoldering so far.
To get the hang of the skill before attempting the real repair, do you have recommendations for practice kits?
I actually have an unused Weller WLC100 iron that's been sitting in my garage for the past ~5-10 years.
I'm guessing I should also buy the following:

Any thoughts/guidance/tips are greatly appreciated.
