In the regular operation of a Chevrolet Silverado, resetting the speedometer is usually unnecessary. However, there are situations where it might be required, like in cases of malfunctions or defects. The good news is that while the process can be somewhat involved, it's not overly complicated or difficult for most amateur car enthusiasts to tackle. To start, you'll have to take off the cover of the instrument cluster and then loosen the screws using an 8mm wrench. This will allow you to remove the speedometer section. Release the brackets securing the glass to the speedometer and remove the glass. Next, push the speedometer needle back to "0". Finally, reassemble the speedometer back into the dashboard of your Silverado by following the reverse steps.
To recalibrate the speedometer on a Chevy Silverado, you should disconnect the battery for about 5 minutes, then reconnect it. This should resolve any issues with the speedometer.
It took more than 5 minutes, but it's better than the other option.
