x2^ they have had a lot of problems with the gauges.

No, they will not honor it after 70,000, unless you have the extended warranty.

so basically when you put your key in the on position, all the guages go to their respective place, and then when you crank the car they go haywire and go way up?

I couldn't find a tsb on your specific problem, but I would look at getting a new guage cluster. Chances are that it's the problem since you're having the same problem with two totally different circuits.

Ijust bought a new cluster that was used and it has 101,000 miles on it and my hoe only has 80,000.I called my local dealer and they told me that they couldn't promgram the miles on it to match my old one? Is that true? And for installation is all that i have to do is plug it up?
