Congrats john,the worse gm cluster gm ever made virus hit your blazer. As it did mine.


You can either do that $100+core thing on ebay. or do the digital to analog conversion like i did. It was easy,just a billion little wires behind the cluster to put together. If you can hook up a cd player,you can do the swap.

the analog ones are better!

250.00!!??!?!??! I can get you one at my local pick n pull for $40.00 plus shipping. They had a bunch of digitals around last time i was there,problem is theres no way i can test one there. They have the analogs for 25. they usually all work.

Dude, you need to switch junk yards. Those people are high lol. They have plenty 1st gens just like yours at my pull-a-part. You can be out the door with warranty with your cluster for about $28. Can't beat that.
