	I received a letter from general motors a few years ago about a speedometer defect. the letter extended the manufactures warranty to 7 years 80,000 miles on the gauge cluster due to defects. the letter said in bold underlined words not to bring the truck in if it is not experiencing any problems. it is now past the extended warranty and the speedometer is not working. it is stuck at 80mph and will not move. i took it to the gmc dealership and gm will not fix the unit since it is to old. i believe it is very dangerous not to know how fast you are going, this is a known problem by gm and gm has not had to have a recall on the unit? gm should have a recall for all the affected cars and trucks with this known problem. *tr
