Why do you need a GM transmission temperature gauge?
Having us add the gauge to your instrument cluster is a great tool to help prevent premature failure of the transmission if you tow regularly or do not service the transmission at recommended intervals. The chart below shows the estimated effect of temperature on transmission life.
Why are my fuel gauges not working on my Chevy Silverado?
In fact, this is,unfortunately, a common problem among most GM vehicles built from 2003-2006 – various gauges in the instrument clusters of these cars and trucks tend to fail as the mileage starts to get into the “high” zone. This problem is caused by defective drive motors that were used on the circuit boards of these instrument clusters.
Where is the fuel level sensor on a Silverado?
If you were to send a tiny camera deep inside your fuel tank, you would find your fuel pump and fuel sending unit, swimming in fuel and quietly doing the jobs their names would suggest. Embedded among this happy apparatus, you would also find a fuel level sensor, which, also, would be doing the job its name suggests.
What does it mean when your fuel gauge is full?
When this happens you’re left guessing how many miles you have left on your tank of fuel while your fuel level gauge bounces around from empty to ½ a tank to ¼ of a tank to full and back again. If this is the trouble you’re having, you’ll need to get your truck to a local mechanic for diagnosis and repair.

What should the temp be on my GM Truck?
If I turn the key but not start the truck the gauge goes up to probably 180 now that it is cooler and will sit there just fine. When I start the truck, the needles all sweep to the left and go back. Temp goes back to 180 for a few seconds. About the time the flashing airbag light goes off, the gauge goes back down to 160.
Why are all the gauges on my GM Truck not working?
Last night I was comin home from the store and realized my speedometer wasn’t working (ins’t the first time) so i hit the dash, then realized NONE of the gauges were working.. Gas gauge, almost empty. Water temp, cold. No oil pressure. The alt wasn’t charging. No tac and no speedometer.
Why does my temp gauge go up and down?
I now notice my temp gauge is acting funny. The truck was at normal running temp. I turn on the key, the temp gauge goes up to about 200 where it should and then after maybe 5 seconds it goes back down to 160 and never moves. Is there any connection between the dead battery and the gauge?
