[QUOTE="Tonimus, post: 29947, member: 12914"] I got a trailblazer cluster on eBay to salvage the stepper and needle out of. It was way cheaper than a GMT800 cluster. I didn't realize the needle was red instead of orange. But the one needle down in the corner being a slightly different color doesn't bother me. I got the face from GM Cluster Repair (I think that's the name) on eBay. Pretty happy with the quality. You could definitely do it yourself. The work isn't hard, and the soldering is pretty basic. The hardest part was actually disassembling the cluster and then desoldering the stepper from the salvaged cluster. I would HIGHLY recommend a desoldering gun if you want to salvage parts. Otherwise just buy steppers on eBay. Jacked up my AC control sliders and I've had so much other nonsense going on, I haven't gotten around to doing the LEDs in that yet. Soon... [/QUOTE]
