I just noticed yesterday my odometer and trip meter stopped working. They worked fine the day before but now they just aren't turning... Does anyone have any clue on how to fix it?

Mine did the same thing i just changed out my cluster with one that was close to my miles. But if you wanted to fix it yourself they sell the gears on rockauto. Its just a pain in the *** to do it i started to do it but then realized i didnt have the patience haha

how hard is it to completely switch out the cluster compared to just putting new gears in?

Super easy take the 3 bolts out the top side above the cluster, pop the plastic piece off around the steering, pull the headlight switch out and get the screw out behind it, then the four bolts holding the cluster on and the 3 plugs on the backside of it and thats it reverse the steps and you got it. Oh and make sure you pull the gear selector in 1 gear and thats its. Doin it the first time could take about 1 -1.5 hr tops then after that its super easy

Anytime man. If you have any problems while tearin it apart just shoot me a message. And it wouldnt be a bad idea before you put the new one in replace the bulbs to leds. Thats just a thought though lol
