Will and 05 H2 IPC work in an 03 H2? The guages look diffferent but will the connection match up?

OK, I have answered my own question. The 03 through 05 are all interchangable.

Now the question is... If I can get one for under $300 is that a good deal?

Actually, you should be able to get one for even less than that. Don't forget to put the nifty little sticker on your door to let everyone know that the odo is not original miles as that info is stored in the IPC. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Mileage is stored in 1 or 2 other components, seems like.

I think it reads it from the BCM

The IPC is programmed at the Delco electronics repair center.
Milage is stored in the IPC.

Under 300? Hmm...How about 500?

Should be around $295 range. Mileage cannnot be updated via Tech II, partsguy is correct in that only the specefied Delco (or is it Delphi now?) can do any programming to them. If you were to change out yours with a new one, the tech II (according to everything I have been told) would only read the mileage stored in the new unit--not the old mileage from perhaps the pcm or abs unit as I had once thought.
