The stepping motors in the gauges go bad. do a search on ebay for CHEVY SILVERADO INSTRUMENT CLUSTER for cheaper repair options. The dealer charges around $300.00. It will continue to worsen.

Am wondering if a 2004 GMC Envoy instrument cluster will work in my 2004 Chevy Silverado Z71.

Call your local GM dealer and have them check part numbers. I don't believe it will. If the stepper motors went out and the needles go haywire you should have the unit repaired for around 120$ most places will charge. US Speedo The Industry Leader in Everything Speedometer

Where is the speed sensor located on a 2004 Chevy Tahoe Z71.

Speed sensor for the ABS system or for the speedometer?

If the speedometer and it is four wheel drive than the speed sensor will be in the rear housing of the transfer case.

The speedometer works part of the time to read right speed and then it goes crazyreading what ever it wants either high or too low some times it gets stuck on 15 mph in park or reads 10 to 15 when driving...

If the car is otherwise working OK, it's probably your instrument cluster (IPC). There is an electronic sensor on your transmission that sends a signal to your engine computer (ECM) and the IPC. Your transmission changes gears in response to this sensor, so if it's shifting properly, and the other gauges are ok, the ECM should be OK

Have you ever had the transmission fluid and filter replaced, do that and see if that cures the problem.
