Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 based on all problems reported for the 2001 Silverado 2500.
The instrument panel(speedometer, fuel gauge, etc. ) is completely inoperable. I've read a ton forums that many owners are having or were(since paid out-of-pocket) having the same problem. Gm/Chevrolet has reported that the cost for repair is $500. Let me also add, this problem isn't in just my particular model and year, but newer models as well. This is huge safety problem being the operator of the vehicle doesn't know the speed of his vehicle.
Instrument cluster inoperative. Volts gauge would read low. I had it checked out and the battery was providing the proper 13. 8 volts.
The fuel gauge will show empty even if the tank is full. It will go from below empty and the low fuel light will come on and then if you rock the vehicle back and forth it will read the proper amount.
