I have the same problem with my 05' Duramax and my tach does the same too. Sometimes I have one or the other and sometimes neither.

My '03 Yukon did the same thing at around 85-90k miles.

I'm dealing with the same issue. On my way to Rosemont I glanced at the speedo and was shocked to see I was running 135 @ 2200 RPM.

Below is a link to a guy who repairs them for $169 ($189 for the entire cluster) including shipping BOTH WAYS!

In the mean time there's a 'reset' proceedure you can do. Turn on the ignition and click the key forward just shy of engaging the starter. Each time you do this the speedo needle will work its way back toward zero. It may take five to twenty clicks depending on where the needle sits. Mine works correctly for days, then out of the blue it goes nuts again. And most recently, it worked its way back to zero on its own! Go figure. And FWIW, my local dealer told me I'm looking at $600 to $800 for them to do the fix.

Go here.

I used this guy in Minnesota. Turnaround was 3 days. lifetime warranty for $125.

They are easy to take out and unplug by yourself. You can also still drive the vehicle without it. I used my GPS for figuring out my speed. Got it back and put it back in. was virtually painless.

And FWIW, my local dealer told me GM is covering the '04s up to 90K miles, but the '05 models up to 100K. Seems strange to me but then common sense is pretty rare these days!

Oh GM, why so hard to get the most basic things right?

Thanks Dennis but we've since replaced the '03 with a '07 Denali. Much better build of a truck!

Sounds like a bad stepper motor in the cluster...there's a step-by-step "How To" over at DieselPlace on replacing them. Like someone said above, GM is covering certain years up to certain mileage, so it's worth checking before dropping any $$$...
