I have a 2018 Laramie 1500 CCSB with 35,960 miles on it. Apologies if there's a thread on this already. This morning when I started my truck at -5 deg F indicated, my speedometer needle stayed at "0 mph" and made a "ticking" sound while it pulsed. I took a short video clip (in my driveway) going 4 or 5 mph with the digital readout working and the speedometer needle stuck at "0".
I am 40 miles away from the end of my 36K bumper-to-bumper warranty - my dealer is further away than that. This is my third Minnesota winter with this truck, and I have never had this issue before. As the truck warmed up (interior only - temp outside got colder), the speedo finally started working again and agreed with the digital readout.
Anyone else had this issue - in or out of warranty ? If so, what was your fix ? If it is a just a clean-out-the-instrument-cluster-and-lubricate fix, then I can handle it myself. If the cluster is going bad, I will call the dealer and see what they can do for me. From general principals with complicated electronics, I would rather not do a cluster replacement unless it's really necessary, since often one fix produces another problem.
Thanks !
