Speedometer does work

When vehicle is turned off..gauge is between 60 and 70...when started and proceeding...gauge goes to 120 quickly...there is a "ping" which stops when foot is taken off accelerator....please tell me this is something simple like a sensor or something easily fixed for not for big bucks!

- Thanks a bunch...I was afraid of that....apparently there is a lawsuit pending on such a matter.

I will contact dealer...and I will contact GM.....I also have a problem with the intake seals going bad...have to take top of engine off to repair.....$45,000.00 automobile...88,000 miles...maintained perfectly....love the truck, the ride...really very upset about what is seeming to be continued problems...I am a second owner...vehicle belonged to my sister in the funeral business...light duty...well mainted there too....that's why I bought it when she did her 3 year trade....WOW! Thanks for listening..you confirmed what I thought..thank you!

- thye do have their issues but i have an 02 z71 suburban with 150k miles on it and runs like a new one have seen a good many with 200-300k miles running great. the cluster is a problem and gm has stood behind it and will probably help you out on it. intake seals I assume you have the cold start miss? this is also an issue but is a fairly simple fix should be about $300 repair
