This has been talked about on the pff and the other fishing forum, but I just wanted to mention it here. If you have a Chevrolet between the years 2003-2006/07 That the gauges suck. They will go out on you EVENTUALLY. Do not expect Chevrolet to do anything for you, Sandy Sansing especially. There was a guy that would fix them for you on one of the old forums for a couple hundred dollars but when you purchase a $40,000. Truck you would think when something like this is wrong they would mail you something to let you know about it instead of not knowing and one day your driving down the road and your gauges go haywire. Then you are researching it on the internet and come to find out a damn good percentage of trucks, suvs and others have had this problem. You bring it in" and remember you have lived at the same place for 30+ years and bought several vehicles from mr. sandy so you know they have your address on file" and they say oh yea there's nothing we can do for that you have 80k miles and your trucks an 04 so your out of warranty, we sent out a recall to our customers about this, Well damn I have bought several trucks from you including this one brand-new here's the sticker that was in the window and I didn't receive anything in the mail, I cant help it that my gauges just started doing this, I hadn't had a problem so I never thought about researching something like this on the internet until im going down 9th ave doing 40mph and bam my speedo gauge says im doing 100, not even 5 mins later my oil pressure gauge goes haywire along with the temp gauge so im thinking there is something wrong. When I get home and do the research I see where this is a problem so now im here (sandy sansing) because its supposed to be a "recall". To make a long story short they wouldn't do a damn thing about it, pretty much treated me like I was a waste of their valuable time and sent me on my way. I tried my damnest to find mr sandy sansing himself to have a little talk but no one seemed to know where he was or how to get ahold of him. I just wanted to let everyone know that owns one of these pos's that sooner or later your gauges are probably going to go nuts, don't worry most likely its the stepper motors and they are cheap and you need a soldering gun and a little mechanical skills to take the dash off and take the cluster out and apart and its not a hard fix, just be careful because you can burn the circuit board up if you get it to hot. There are a lot of video's on youtube on how to fix them. That pos dealer wants $400 or more to put a new cluster in the truck. I got the highest person they say out there to talk to him about this and already knew they weren't going to do anything but I wanted to ask him from those years and model of auto's that this dealership sold how many of them brought them back when you so called had a "recall" on them, over 80 percent of the auto's they sold were brought back. Seems like bs to me that you cant replace this trucks seeing It was bought from you brand-new, I have purchased several trucks from you over the years, im showing you the sticker that was in the window with all the paper work and you cant do something about it. I just wanted to let everyone know, beware and especially beware of sandy rip-off.
