Dash Mods / Instrument Cluster

I've been doing some research on this and it seems like there are some cool things out there, but its all very hard to find.. does anyone know a good speedo shop that will fix our clusters? my needles are ALL jumping, its really obnoxious.

the hardest thing to find has been the needle kit, i know ive seen some but ive only been able to find them from one manufacturer. does anybody have some links to needle kits?

so far this is what i am planning on getting,

new needles:

As far as I know USSpeedo is the only company that makes needles for our trucks. I could be wrong though. I have a USSpeedo kit and the quality is great.

that is a nice looking dash, i looked at those but i kinda like having black around the lighted gauges. i wonder if the newer needles like on your truck would fit 2001? their website has a round type needle listed for my year, i dont see why itd be any different though.

i just got a new battery, and the alternator seems to be fine. it could be that one of the power connectors on the cluster needs to be re-sauntered..?? maybe idk. i know thats whats wrong with the odometer as i have had to fix that before.

Thanks. I would just contact USSpeedo and ask if the needles would work. I had to call them for a question and they were very helpful.
