One other thing, I did not use the "Special Service Tool J42059" to remove the 12v socket from the bezel. I used a pair of channel locks a lightly squeezed the 2 tabs and pushed the one side up. Then I took a small flat screw driver and worked the other tab loose and up. If you mark up the old console it doesn't matter because you are replacing it with the one supplied. Any more questions?????????

I believe they are making a version for all the possibilities. When you oder make sure you get the correct one for your engine and transmission package. To be safe give them your VIN #

Looks good....nice job.

... very nice !! It looks like the console side is snapped in place... is it a simple "pull-off" and "snap-on" set-up?

tmigala · 01-23-2010, 08:35 AM

Yes thats all. I took it fairly slow just to make sure, but the side panel came off and went back on without an issue.

ladysman07 PM me about a point that I forgot to mention. When you place the guage panal into the new bezel there appears to be no included hardware to hold it in place. Not having a parts manual I did not know what or if GM used anything for this purpose. If you install the bezel without securing the guage pack to the bezel it moves around in the mount. What I did was use 2 clips that screws can be screwed through on the end of the bezel where they could be placed to hold the pack. On the other end clips would not work so I used 2 couple of blind nuts that where enclosed in rubber (from my Harley windshield). That did the trick. Like I said I do not know what GM does to hold the pack in place. Nothing mentioned in the instructions or hardware provided.

I used 2 cable ties, worked good. If you don't use a fastener you could push the gauges down into the housing. Hard to explain but you'll understand when you start installing. Not a hard install job.

yea i used the black ties in all 4 corners and it worked great.

tmigala · 01-23-2010, 11:19 PM

GREAT idea, wished I had thought of that. It would of been a lot easier, with the same result.
