    I used to fix all of my instrument clusters all the time involved in doing it I just started buying them from Brothers trucks just change them out you're done I know it's not original but it saves a lot of time and they look just as good that's just me love restoring these old Chevy trucks I'm doing a '59 Chevy Impala right now and that's a hard one to get a part for

      Yes, the one year only cars are a pain but I sure do like those 59’s!

    Thanks GM. My volt gauge isn't working and I've been working up the nerve to disassemble the cluster and take a peek. Maybe this weekend.

      What do you mean sloppy steering? Just has a lot of play or is it touchy?

    I rebuilt the one in my 86 also repainted the needles and went back with LED BULBS makes a BIG difference 👊🏼

    I commend you! Your the first person that I heard mention that a metric size often has a SAE equivalent. Must be old like me.lol

    My gas gauge seems to move around a lot when driving. If there is more than a half tank it
    is better but I’m thinking the float is worn and just moves too easily?

    • @gmtim3840
      @gmtim3840  2 роки тому

      Very possible, may also be in the gauge but as long as it’s fairly accurate that’s all that matters I guess

    • @Mr_TimeMachine_Too

      GM Tim38 I’m going to sort it out soon. They say those ceramic resistors can go bad in the back of the gauge, but not sure what symptom that would have. Could probably be a bad ground too?

    My 86 has Dual Tanks and at Full, both Tanks read about 3/8 a Tank. The Gauge does go down, but at empty you still have gas. Have you ran up on that?

    • @gmtim3840
      @gmtim3840  2 роки тому

      Yes, more than likely your gauge is bad but could be a grounding issue possibly. When you have them full, take an ohm meter and see how many ohms you have between your gauge wire and a ground, if you’re reading somewhere between 90-100 then it may be your gauge.
