What did it get your C notch

What a clear video! Question? Do you just crimp leads to eyes? Or can I get away with solder and not overheat resister?

Very helpful

After it was finished did you feel like the notch was cut too far forward?

Thank you! Great explanation!

They there blue and think

Thank you very much for the repair tip. It helped me a lot with my 1984 GMC K 1500 Stepside. Two resistors for less than €1 and the display works like new. Greetings from Germany

Thank u sir

Mine doesn’t move at all

Excellent video

Good video!

If you remove the clear cover, black plastic, and then screws holding the speedometer in you can remove the cable much easier(through the hole by the headlight switch). Once the speedometer is out the cluster is much easier to remove. When the cluster is back in place you can install the cable then turn the speedometer slightly to line it up with the holes.

What is the issue when a fuel gauge is off??

Great tips. Maybe you can help me out. I have an 1982 GMC Sierra Classic 1500. I can't switch to the passenger tank as of yesterday. I replaced the switch, nothing. I hooked up a new fuel tank selector valve, nothing. I filled up both tanks and the gauge works perfectly on the driver's side tank. I drove around the gauge drops as usual. I just can't switch to the right side tank. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

🐺 Thank You

Good video I got a ? I filled my 85 Pontiac stays on full for 3 day and fuel level drops slowly I’d say bout 1/2 should the gas gauge move from half to full as the gas slushes around?

So something weird is going on, new sending unit, cleaned grounds, but gauge sits at overfull and if I turn on hazards it pulses the needle slightly. Also when I disconnect my sending unit wire from the tank my voltage light just gets more dull (dummy lights). Need help😂

Very helpful and easy to understand tutorial!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Awesome video and explanation

Would be OK to weld It from under

excelente tutorial. gracias.

Can’t thank you enough for posting this. 🙏🙏 This info that you provided is truly invaluable!! My truck does the same as what you mentioned that yours did, the fuel needle only goes up to about between 1/4 - 1/2 tank when my tank is full. So I’m assuming that my issue is also the resistor like you mentioned in your video. Thank you again for the video!!

Nice explanation on making your own resistance.

I bought a ‘72 C10 many years ago. The seller told me occasionally the gas gauge quits working properly and he had a magnet stuck to the kick panel and said just take that magnet and touch it to the two leads on the back of the gauge and it will start working correctly. It does happen occasionally and the magnet touched to the back of the gauge does correct it.....Any idea on the theory that is taking place?

Thank you for explaining how everything works. It's really beneficial to have some insight on these symptoms. Even more helpful is that I'm experiencing the same symptoms you described at the very end of the video.

I’ve got a 1976 Chevy Itasca on a p20 chasis. I can not find out what the green wire is. After I got a new alternator put it my clusters all spin crazily. Any advice?

I appreciate this, I want to get a original tach to go in place of the big fuel gauge on mine and put the small fuel gauge where the clock is, anyway if I find them I wish I could ship you my cluster for a rebuild. Thanks again! 👍🏼

I've been study how gauges work on 1986- mid 90's I took apart a speedometer cluster just for study from a 86' olds delta 88 and the back of the cluster looks exactly what your showing. I had never seen anything like that . The harness plug fitting in that recessed slot, and just pushing against the ribbon wire circuit . I guess for the light bulbs. I've replace the 2005 pontiac speedometer and gauges steppers But I guess the older inst. clusters use some round thing, there not steppers and there not soldered. and prob. don't break like steppers either. I'm reading in my factory 90 bonneville service manual. that the gas gauge used, it say's the pointer on the fuel gauge is moved by magnetic fields , of two coil's. the coil's are at right angles to each other. battery voltage is applied to the to the "E" coil ( for empty I guess ) & the circuit divides at the opposite end of the coil . One path continues to gnd through the "F" coil. another goes to gnd through the variable resistor of the fuel gauge sender. when the tank is low the resistance of the sender is low. A large flow of current passes throu the "E" coil and the fuel gauge sender resistor this movesa the pointer towards "E" on the scale.when the tank is full the sender resistance is high. More current flow's through the "F" coil, movin the pointer towards "F"on the scale. Say's with the 2 coils operating the pointer, the gauge is not effected by the changes in the voltages of the system

Just whack it off!

I had two 1980 Corvettes and 181 and everything is exactly the same there the circuit boards other than my shift lever is in the console but I was surprised to see that the 85 mile an hour speedometer is also on the truck because that's all the Corvettes have. I sent one to ecklers and had to change to the 165 mph speedometer it came back with 7 miles on it for testing purposes. But trying to find the output gear for the speedometer cable it seems that the Corvette models have about 10 different ones you would have to know the exact ratio of that transmission and your rear end to make it work or it's going to be off I got one through Summit and it was about 10 to 15 miles an hour off. If you look it up they have a variety of colors of the little gear that's permanent in the transmission that's where the big difference is at. I tried buying different ones at O'Reilly's they have them they're very reasonable the 200 mph speedometer but you would have to buy an adapter cable from them to put it into the car they're not the same they won't bolt in and then you're going to have trouble with the transmission gear probably not worth your trouble

My resistor is red and is measuring 45 ohms. 1985 K5. Confused!

great vid

Brother if you're going to give advice about resistors, you need to learn the difference between watts and ohms. Also, instead of "wiring up a couple in parallel", just use one of the correct resistance.

Where you order them

Very good explanation. I have the pegged gauge scenario and this tells me what is wrong.

So should I go digital?

I have a 1980 C10 Big 10 Silverado, None of my gauges are Working. I purchased a new printed circuit board, everything is grounded and working , new wiring harness, fuses .lights etc..., the gauges are 40yrs old. Do the ceramic resistors go bad ?And if they do. Will they cause the gauges not to work? Also do you know what the part number # for the case ceramic resistors. I would like to purchase some.please advise. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Robert. One more question, I call lmc and ask them if I purchased new gauges would they have resistors applied to the gauges. They didn't know if they did. Anyway do you know if they do? Thanks again.

Great video. Once I had gathered the basic idea of how to circuit works from your video, I was able to repair my non functioning gauge in just a few minutes. Thank you greatly

Do you have to have all the light bulbs in the sockets or can you leave some out

Thank you! I will be troubleshooting my gauge sometime this week. It's showing past full right now.

I have a 6.2 cucv d30 (k30 army) would you know if a civilian type cluster would be plug and play to get regular guages instead of idiot lights? I do know I have 2 alternators

I am having an issue can't figure it out my fuel gauge at full goes lil past quarter tank but will go to empty I disconnected the wires at sending unit and it went to full grounded went to empty so replaced the sending unit still same problem gunna pull the fuel gauge today see if that's the problem but I don't have a meter now got damaged when I moved

Very helpful thank you!

Weird question but what the heck… I had my whole dash Cluster apart for a restoration on it and I happened to completely spin the fuel guage needle 360° around while wiping the guage off. Would this change the readings on the fuel level?

Nice job , but for people up there, leaving the bed on, Will decreases time and will keep the frame straight.

my 87 suburban needs this!!

nice video!

Great informative video, one question can this be done with the bed still on, I know it's probably easier with it off, but I'll be working by myself?

Gauge reads low resistor good float good How go I make sure the instrument cluster is grounded properly
