ALL GAUGES ON MY 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 HAVE FAILED. FORMER CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FILED AND WON ON BEHALF OF TRUCK OWNERS. SUIT ONLY COVERS VEHICLES UNDER 80K MILES. MINE FAILED AT ABOUT 100K. DISCUSSED ISSUE WITH GM AND THEY WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. FOUND ON NHTSA WEB SITE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AT ABOUT THE SAME MILEAGE. THE CLUSTER IS A DEFECTIVE PART INSTALLED IN PRODUCTION AND SEEMS TO BE DESTINED TO FAIL. PART FAILURE CAUSES VEHICLE TO FAIL EMISSIONS AND THUS MAKES VEHICLE UNREGISTERED. PART COST MORE THAT $500 TO REPAIR. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED AT THIS TIME. *TR
