Zinger Instrument Cluster Gauge Stepper Motor Repair Kit X27 168 Fits 03-06 GM Chevy Silverados Tahoes Yukons(7Motors+36Led Light Bulbs+Soldering Iron+Solder Sucker+Remove Tool+Flux Rosin Core)

Great kit. Installed the actuators 6 months ago and they work perfectly. Easy to install with the nice tools that are included

My 2500 HD Silverado has just under 150K miles on it and as predicted the stepper motors began falling. First the speedometer, which is bearable, but the the fuel gauge which is unacceptable for a diesel truck with a 24 gallon tank. I chose the Zinger repair kit because it was the most purchased kit with the best reviews. It also had 7 motors which I needed as my truck has a transmission temperature gauge. This kit has everything needed to replace all of the stepper motors and panel lights. You can get as creative as you want with the lights as they provide plenty of LEDs and many colors. Changing the LEDs is the only tricky part as the circuit board doesn’t identify the positive and negative port. The positive lead on the bulb is the longer of the two but they need to be shortened for installation. I chose not to replace mine as none were out. Soldering is a very simple skill and you need not fear it. However you do need to fear the soldering iron. It is unforgiving and I have a new scar on my finger to remind me of my experience.This is a nice kit with the best motors available and the price is great.

Works great. Stepper motors fixed the problem. LEDs were great until I somehow blew an irreparable circuit in the circuit board when I was finishing the install. Stepper motors still work but no backlighting. Would recommend with the caution of resisting the urge to update the backlighting if all yours work. Only item I would change is the solder sucker. It doesn't work. I used solder wick and that worked great.

Works great they look just the the oem ones. But the leds leave bright spots in cluster and the soldering iron needs a more fine tip.

First...you should have some considerable soldering experience before you try this! The stepper motors came out and went in fine. Getting them to read correctly can be a little tricky. I put the needles back on in the exact same position but they ended up not being correct. That being said, there may be a good reason for this. I found that the stepper motors are strong enough for the gage needles to slip. The solution is to use needle nose pliers to SLIGHTLY tighten the shaft on the needles by crimping them before putting them on and then adjusting them to the proper position. The dash panel, when first turned on by the key switch, operates the stepper motor to its CCW stop position and then moves them needles forward too , hopefully, the correct reading. My only complaint is that, if you are replacing the LED's, they will have "hot spots" on the dash panel where the lights are brighter. I think that this is because , unlike the OEM incadescent lamps, the LED's disperse the light more up then out creating a non uniform light pattern. Also, because the light dispersal of the LED's is more up than out, you will have some pretty bright turn signals, cruise locked, and high beam headlight indicators.I must say though that I am EXTREMELY impressed by this kit!!! I have a fairly expensive soldering iron but I enjoyed using this one so much more that it will now likely be my go to soldering iron!!! I also have a spare stepper motor and quite a few extra LED's to play with in the future, and a removal tool to boot! Thank you Zinger for making this excellent kit!!!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Price… u cannot ask for a better deal!!

You should know how.to be gentle.and solder beforehand, but saved me 150+ for a rebuild, works great. Make sure you know where your gauges (needles) rest on off so ypu may reset them the leds are also kind of lousy they have hot spots that are hard to spread

Ok so this saved me 200-300 dollars so thats 5 stars for sure. I have never soldered before and this was pretty easy. Although I do have welding experience which helps a little bit. Anyways took me probably 4 hours in total but 2 of that was installing and uninstalling the cluster and changing out stepper motors on my RPM gauge thinking I Had got bad motors. After watching carefully when i turned the key I discovered that the RPM needle indeed moved up to 0 from a negative position when key was off. So the stepper motors were fine it had to be something else. I found a forum where someone else had same issue. The wires feeding the plug that connects to the instrument cluster were smashed between a plastic shroud and the firewall. I got the wires cleared and found the white culprit that fed the RPM gauge. Re plugged it in and everything worked! Also the LEDs are a nice upgrade, sure they have some uneven spots which is my fault but its not too bad. And it beats what i had before which was no light over the speedometer meaning guessing your speed at night. Overall lots of value in this and I have a soldering iron in case i need to do any other stuff in the future. Oh and watch YouTube videos first like many people have mentioned!
