About: 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe
2003 Z71 Tahoe Speedometer works part of the time, most of the time it stays around the 120 mark.

A year ago I had the transmission worked on by a Chevy Dealer.  Very soon afterwards (a couple days, if that) the speedometer began malfunctioning.  It started off by sticking at a speed, now it will move and stick there then work it's way back to zero, but most of the time it likes to live out near the 120 mph area.  Could they have not connected something properly at the dealer when they worked on the tranny?

There is a special policy regarding that covers 03-04 pick up trucks(tahoes, escalades etc included) for unlimited mileage 2005's are covered for 110000km.  And theres nothing the dealer could have done to make this happen everythings digital in there now all the dealer has access to really is programming the cluster

GM has a recall on them if they're under 70,000 miles. The stepper motor is going bad, so you can find a service on ebay that rebuilds
them, or buy a new cluster and get it programmed.
