How much does it cost to fix a speedometer on a Chevy Avalanche?

Answer 1

I had trouble with both the speedo and tach. They run on a "system" that is prone to failure. The dealer charges are outrageous, so there is an aftermarket industry that has developed. I found a local (Ft. Lauderdale) shop to "repair the entire instrument pod for $325.00. I only had to remove/replace the pod myself (5 minutes!) You can find other companies on the Web. Info for removing pod: beauty bezel that goes around pod AND radio is removed simply by pulling. There are about six "male, plastic snaps" that release under prerssure. Once they are released, the tilt wheel needs to be in the down position and the gear shift lever all the way to the right. Be careful not to damage the flasher button when removing beauty bezel. Instrument pod is held in place by 4 sheet metal screws with hex heads. I believe that they are either 1/4" or 5/16". It is easier than it sounds
