03 silverado dash cluster
Friend of mine has an 03 Silverado with 270 000 miles and his dash just started cutting out then he taps on the face of the plastic and it comes on. Sounds like a connection to me ??? anyone have any...

X2 cheap and very plentiful. Some will even input your currant mileage.
Note: it is Federal law that you disclose that the cluster/odometer was replaced even if the replacement has the correct mileage! There will be a sticker that comes with the rebuilt cluster that needs to be attached to the drivers door. Just a heads up.

Not so. I sent my wife's in and the mileage was untouched. They didn't provide a sticker because it was the same cluster, just repaired.
Key here is YOU sent it out not a dealer. So you can claim that you did not know of the law and as such you were not "knowingly" committing a crime.

When mine went out while in warranty, they called in he current mileage and the new one came with the correct mileage on it. I was told I could not drive more than 200 miles while waiting on the new cluster or they would have to send it back to get the mileage reset. I don't know if this was the law or because of the warranty tracking.
I was never told about the 200 mile thing but the sticker was due to State not Federal regulations. There are both State and Federal laws covering this.
Funny Ford had to replace mine under warranty in my 1990 F-150 XLT and they placed a sticker on the drivers door below the MFG sticker stating the odometer was replaced and at what mileage it was replaced. The mileage was sent at the time the odometer was ordered and that was the mileage that was on the replacement odometer. During the lemon law buy back I marked the Title as "mileage unknown" and this sent Fords Lawyer through the roof. When asked why I did this I stated that Brondes Ford had replaced the odometer but still let me drive the truck for almost two weeks. So the true and correct mileage is unknown and I'm not going to comment fraud for you!
Link with a lot of good info
Once the odometer is repaired you would be required to complete an odometer disclosure statement, attach it directly to the title, and keep a copy for a minimum of five years.
Be very aware of a vehicle that someone is trying to sell you if it is less than ten years old with the odometer not functioning.
