Speedo thinks it's in Canada...

My 92 Econoline speedo jumped from miles to kilometers!

Suddenly the odometer reads 170,000 instead of about 100,000 and my speedometer shows 58"MPH" when I'm actually doing 70MPH.

Does anyone know how to change the speedo head back from kilometers to miles?

Thanks!

Easiest way is to drive to Canada and then cross back over the border. It'll reset back to miles automatically.

That's the first thing I tried. Didn't work.

Then I thought maybe I could drive in circles to make it dizzy, but I wound up parked on top of a Volkswagon full of irate yuppies.

Still reads klicks.

Aww, I thought this was going to be a thread about Speedo banana hammock bathing suits. I'm still waiting for them to come back in fashion.

Sorry for not posting sooner, but I'm in Alaska.
I figured I'd try DannyM's idea once more, but by heading all the way North. It worked, but now I'm afraid to drive home.
Maybe if I drive in reverse the whole way...

It worked for Dudley Doright's Mustang....
