i have a 2004 silverado 1500, and recently the gauges started acting up and now the spedometer is actin up, does chevy have a recall on this? and if not how much do you think it will cost to fix? thanks for looking.

 

There is a recall, but if your over your miles your our of luck and have to pay out of pocket. I will try and find the recall thread.

 

i think the mileage is 70K

 

go to dealer and check your VIN. 1st time i hear recalls are mileage relevant. ain't no warranty, recall is a recall.

 

how could a recall be mileage related? recall is on the truck untill it aint runnnin and its in the dump lol. check with dealer, your still under warranty
