Hi Jon,

     It is my understanding that you cannot purchase new odometers  
from GM, what they give you is a re-manufactured unit or repair the  
unit which is in your car.  This repair or re-manufacturing is not  
done at the dealer but out-sourced to an authorized AC-Delco / Delphi  
repair facility.  These facilities will not repair the units for you  
directly, the unit must go through your friendly :) GM dealer then to  
the repair facility.

     This is also true for CD players, radios and DVD players found  
in GM cars and trucks.    Hope this makes sense?

Tony, they replaced it under warranty.  I don't know if it's virgin  
or reman -- doesn't matter to me.  On this latest one they did set  
the odo at the dealership -- the display read exactly the same when I  
picked it up as it had two hours earlier when I dropped it off.

As for things like radios and such -- no doubt they outsource the  
repairs -- but more likely trash the "broken" unit and replace it  
with new/reman.
