-_- of a day
 

So, my fuel gauge and my oil pressure gauge both stopped working today.

The oil pressure gauge is an easy, quick, and cheap fix.

The fuel gauge on the other hand, is none of those. I'd have to drop the tank and replace the module, which is around $500 if im not mistaken?

that sucks... it snowed shittons here.

That blows big dick dude.

forget your gas gauge dude just fill it up everyday

yeah you gotta drop the tank to replace the sending unit. its like 160 cost...or if youre me you get it on ebay for 60 bucks :hardrock:

umm thought about an aftermarket? probably get off cheaper and it will end up being a better unit.. and i would imagine that if both stopped working at the same time that you have another issue somewhere that would cause both of them to croak simoultaneously

Did some research on it today, and just to be sure, since it was still under warrenty, I replaced my oil pressure sensor. It didnt fix it.

Which means, its in the cluster. And GM wants $300 to send off my cluster to fix it. I'll pass on that.

order a new cluster off ebay.. the mileage can be set to the proper mileage for your car easily as long as your honest.. id imagine the new cluster would fix your fuel gauge problem as well..

You'd have to send off the cluster to have the mileage changed.

And if im gonna do it, i'll just grab a used cluster and deal with the mileage change. Doesnt matter anyway, the motor in it is new, so the miles wont matter. Regardless if its illegal :rolleyes:

if you aint sellin the car anytime sooon;)

ahh if the tanks gettin dropped im replacing everything (pump aswell) **** doin it twice.

bummer to hear about the bad luck man....hope you can find some decently priced parts

ERRRRRRRRRRRRRR WRRRRONGGGGGGG!!!! lol.. trust me i have an entire custom gauge setup on my car.. ive broken that thing down into all its pieces lol.. you can easily get to the odometer and roll the numbers on it.. at least on my 97 cluster you can

Are you serious?!? I have been looking for one as of late, my fuel gauge hasnt worked since May of last year, and i'd love to put a new one in, but I cant find one under $200. Do your remember the name of the place you got it from? I'm hoping they might have another.

*shakes head* Here we go...

Do NOT manually roll the numbers on your odometer. The analog odometers are designed to show silver lines between each number when the odometer has been manually tampered with. As a result, any reasonably educated shopper will see that your mileage has been modified, and you have to now sell the car as "True Mileage Unknown", drastically reducing its re-sale at any given point, and certifiably eliminating any sort of collectible or special interest value.

You can swap the odometers easily, it just takes some work. I'm sure there is a tutorial somewhere on how to put your odometer into another gauge cluster. I've seen it on CamaroV6.com's forum I believe.

Also, 2Poor4U, you must have an early build 97. All the later 97s came with liquid crystal odometers.

ya mine is digital and for some reason it dont count the numbers some time.haha, shhhhhh!
