Stepper motor replacement

LXtasy · 10-10-2011, 07:17 PM

For those that have replaced their stepper motors, how hard is it to do? Is it obvious on what needs to be done when cluster is removed?

LXtasy · 10-10-2011, 08:48 PM

I haven't ordered the motors yet.

BAD BOB · 10-10-2011, 08:54 PM

how many do you need?

LXtasy · 10-10-2011, 09:00 PM

i believe just one...its my speedometer

BAD BOB · 10-10-2011, 09:06 PM

i got 2 new ones at the shop if you want to get one. they are the same ones i replaced mine with. if you wanted to get together and bring the truck or cluster to the shop and we can do it there and i can show you how its done so when the others mess up

LXtasy · 10-10-2011, 09:09 PM

it will probably be later on in the week if that is ok with you. Around 430-445 before I could get there. how much should I bring with me?

BAD BOB · 10-10-2011, 09:18 PM

15? later in the week should be good just call me that day if you know ahead of time

LXtasy · 10-10-2011, 09:21 PM

yes sir will do

Honestly, if you are going to do one, might as well do the other 4/5. It is not a matter of if, but when they go.

I agree. I replaced just my tach and then had several others go out with in months, lol. I now just do all of them and usually even replace the bulbs also.

dumb Q...

we got a used 2007 Tahoe, and the volt meter stays on 12 14 or 16.

never in between, never varies, one of those positions if truck is on. usually dead on 14.

is that motor bad? do the 2007's stepper motor's go bad?
not worth fixing yet, but annoying to look at, ya know?

Usually, it is the speedo and oil pressure gauge's motors that go bad. No reason the one for the volt meter can't, though.

BAD BOB · 10-12-2011, 08:26 AM

when i got my truck the only one that DID work was the oil pressure. i had to do all mine

That because you're "special", Robert.

By the way, when I get back to work, I need to bring my truck by to bounce some custom exhaust ideas off you.
