Default Gage Cluster

I have a 93 Silverado that has a bad temp gage which I am sure is bad. Does anyone know where I can get a new or replacement cluster?

Did you check your thermostat first?

And are you looking for a replacement gauge for the dash, or one of the external gauges you throw right beside your window.

dont go spending money you dont have to
mine didnt work eather on my 94 silverado
so heres what i did i replaced the temp sensor on the top of the engin by the inlet of the radiator hose that fixed mine also replace the one on the driverside of the engine next to the exsaust manifold it will be the on closest to the front of the engine but just next to the spark plug
if im correct that one controls the temp gauge
and the one on the top sends info to the computer

i will post a couple of pictures sometime in the next day or two so you get an idea of where they are at
also hope that helps
and if yoru thermastate is bad and stuck opem your truck wont get very hot and your guage will reflect that

as mine is also sticky

Thats the first thing I did and I was actually looking for the whole gauge cluster on the dash until I found how much they cost.

I hear ya. I guess I shouldn't trust that the previous owner replaced them already. I didn't realize that theres two sensors, some pics would be cool.
Thx!
