2003 Silverado. Driving for about an hour on the interstate. Stopped at a red light on a city street, when I was moving again I noticed the speedo said i was doing 75. I t has gone down a little, but it still shows 20 mph when the engine is off. Whazzup?

Ed,
This is a known issue with 04 & 05 GM and Chev pickups; I did not know it affected '03s as well.
The speedo usually goes nuts in the neighbourhood of 50,000-75,000 miles. In the US, GM upped the guaranty on the speedo to 75,000 miles to cover that, according to what I learned on Truck Forums. Check with your dealer.

There is a recall for the 03 speedo. They will replace the whole instrument cluster if you milage is under 75k.
Unfortunatly mine had 120k before I got the recall notice, so the fix would cost around $500.
So now I just guess what my speed is.
you are just too fast for us
Thats fine, just don't call me half fast.
Yep, mine just happened and the clock shows 115k."Put your creed in your deed." Emerson

Spend $160 on a Scan Gauge II. Set it to read MPH.
