[Shop-talk] Yukon Denali fuel totalizer

[john niolon]

Karl, et all

GM had problems with their electronic 'instrument cluster' and has even 
issued a recall sorta of..  from about 2000 to present the chevy and gm 
trucks, yukons, tahoes had speedometer and other gauges fail and the whole 
cluster was usually replaced.  In my case I had to send them the odometer 
reading and the new panel came set at that mileage from the maker.  could be 
as you say, the computer wasn't reset properly... I'd trust the service 
records...
