We took the truck to a local shop and the mechanic pulled out the cluster, We sent the instrument cluster to a guy that was recommended to us on eBay. The cluster was completely restored and returned to us the same week. Great guy who I would highly recommend, even called me and explained everything he did and said it should take care of all of our problems. The mechanic put it back in the truck and checked everything out and so far it is running great.

Power window regulator failed. Regulator replaced. Power mirror activation switch erratic in operation. The switch was replaced. 
US $200 The original fuel pump had been acting up ever since the truck had around 50,000 miles on it; The electric motor in it was occasionally noisy and loud when running - kind of like the sound or bad bearings (bushings) and the fuel gauge often didn't always register correctly and sometimes, not at all. I do understand that this is a very common problem with this year (2001) Silverado's. GM should have issued a recall for the fuel pump - but didn't... I replaced the pump with a brand new AC-Delco - just like the original. After a fairly short period of time the new fuel pump began acting up (gauge not registering correctly or not at all) just the same as the one I replaced it with. I've decided to just live with it rather than replace it with another pump that would be just as defective as the two previous ones are/were.....

AC compressor died so I decided to replace it. I bought a kit on Amazon for 168.00 which include compressor, dryer, seals, orifice and oil. I had to buy special tools to remove fan from waterpump. I finally finished the job and AC works good now. Removing and replacing the AC compressor on this truck is a pain.
