brigoyanks · 10-20-2010, 02:09 PM

does anyone think i can get it done at the dealership?

**donmateo** · 10-20-2010, 03:22 PM

Maybe, give em a call and check it out and see. The worst they'll say is no.

brigoyanks · 10-20-2010, 07:52 PM

figured it out.. found a guy who does them..he also does the LED backlighting too...turns out he lives in the town next to me....lol small world BBEngineering

**donmateo** · 10-20-2010, 07:59 PM

Yeah, he's well known, I don't recommend him personally, but I've got beef. Heard he does good work, though.

I literally joined this forum so that I could ask you this because you are the only person (apparently, I did some searching through this site but just couldn't find just what I was looking for) that has posted much about the instrument clusters on the 7th gen Impalas. I was wondering if the instrument clusters from the SS are "plug and play" with the base model Impala... I have a base model (for now) and I plan to do a lot of upgrading on it and one of the first things I would like to do is to get a tachometer but I want it to look as close to stock as possible, I'm not a big fan of the 7-inch tach ghetto mounted on my dash that obviously didn't come with the car so I decided on the SS cluster. I just want to verify that it will be a somewhat easy install. (plug and play would be AWESOME)

P.S. I plan on making a thread here for my car, I enjoy sharing my work with others even though I'm definitely a newbie.

Thank you,
Scoobywic

^^Thanks for joining! Please introduce yourself in the proper forum sub-section.

To answer: Yes, it IS plug and play, BUT your oil gauge will NOT work. You could go for an A-Pillar gauge system, as well. Can't wait for pics!

Scoobywic · 10-25-2010, 05:57 PM

Okay cool! That is the only gauge that won't work correct? The tach, speed, gas, and temp will? I will upload as soon as I get home haha, working late tonight.

**donmateo** · 10-25-2010, 07:40 PM

IIRC, only the oil doesn't work. If you can, find a LS Sport gauge, then I think all gauges will work via plug n play.

And sounds good! Have with the fun late night! ;)

Scoobywic · 10-25-2010, 09:20 PM

Haha, I got the pictures and a whole thread up already. They are in this section. Does the LS "sport" gauge come in all LS's? Or only certain ones? Also does this work for 2000 - 05 or is it only for 2002 since thats the year mine is. I've read that theres a difference in pre-2003 Impalas even though they are still 7th gen, any idea about that?

**wanderson75** · 10-26-2010, 05:13 AM

I've you have a 3.4L engine, the oil press on the LS and SS clusters will not work. If you have a 3.8L engine (which came in some base models) it will work fine.

And BBEngineer does awesome work and is a great guy. Donmateo just got on his bad side. :-P

**donmateo** · 10-26-2010, 02:43 PM

^Tool...... :P

FYI, I didn't even do anything, he just wanted to ban me. Ask, TSS, (not to drag him into this) but he knows. It was all about a stupid joke.

And, PS, I've you have? Come on, Wanderson, you're better than that!

The gauge came in LS Sports and I think only 2000s were the issue.

Rewind that sentence...what?

And what issue with the 2000s?

The plug issue or whatever it was. Something about how only 2000 gauges worked with 2000s.

brigoyanks · 10-27-2010, 01:13 AM
