Went to a buddys house last night, noticed my tach was reading 3k at idle, 35-4 when driving. Truck is running normal, not at a high rpm. Turned it off and it stuck on 3. Got in it this am, jumped to 5K at idle, 55-6K driving, again, normal running. Got to work, it sticks on 5k. Replace tach? DIY job? 05 Silverado FWIW.

Early 2000's chevy?

Common problem with their instrument panel. My dads truck started with the speedometer and by the end of it not one gauge worked.

He ended up finding some guy online who you ship it to and he refurbishes and mails it back. I will try and get the website for you

Update

It's Dr speedometer.com

Had on '04 Silverado that had an instrument panel that was screwed up. Tach went first, then speed and oil pressure. Heard it was a common problem, and Chevy offered me no help in fixing it.
Just another one of the joys of owning an overpriced vehicle not worth the money. Enjoy!

03 C2500. Oil pressure went first. Then Tach...now speedo is acting up. I guess I'll be doing some soldering on some stepper motors soon. Tried to find the dash already with new steppers..so I could just plug n play...no joy yet.
