If this is ALL that you have bought, you have nothing to put it on. You only have purchased a bezel and gauge face (an overlay, if you will).

In order to properly use these, you need a Denali/Escalade gauge cluster unit(this piece actually plugs into your truck). Such as this: Denali gauge cluster

And yes, as mentioned earlier: the trans gauge will work (as the trucks are properly wired for this) and the mileage will have to be programmed or a sticker placed in the door frame stating actual mileage (I believe there is a formal sticker for this).

Thank you for teh info just another question to make sure I understand.

So i cant just replace the front peice and keep the old gauge. I really just wanted the Front dash peice the gauge face just happpened to come with it. If i cant use the gauge that is fine I will just use my old one until i get a white faced gauge that is for my truck. I just love the look of the escalade front. the crome rings around the gauges look nice. And if I cant use either I will have to find the rest of the parts at a junk yard or somewhere else I guess dont want to but I will if i have to.

i think you will be able to use the bezle which is the balck peice with crome around the gauges with the clear plastic piece!! you wont be able to use the overlas on stock gauge cluster because the speedo would be off. the next thing you will need to buy is a denali cluster. they have buy it nows on e-bay for around $190 you might be able to pick up a used one for cheaper.

So you just want to use the Sclade gage applique and bezel? If you have just a stock Silverado cluster it wont really work. The speedo will be off. You need to have Denali cluster with a 120 speedo if you want to convert gage appliques. Your best bet would be to buy an Escalade cluster.

Yeah, you can put the bezel on there - that's OK. Just don't use the gauge face overlay - as they said your speedo will be off.

If you want a white gauge face that will work for your cluster, I have one. PM or email me.
