the odo meter has about 90.000 miles on it now.. i wanna forward it to 100.000

so marking 0.000 on the meter.. how do you forward one??

 

Well there are ways to do it but it's not legal. But on a truck that old take the speedo out. Slide the silver pin that holds all the numbers in place out .Turn all the digits to zero and re-insert pin.

 

hmm.. im doing it becuase im putting a new engine and new everything so its like having a new truck to me.. to start the engine count at 0.0 back


oh and btw thanks

 

???? Drive it another 10.000 miles or so then it will read 100.001 & so on .. I don't know how to make it 0.000 ..can it be done ... Lew

 

It is as easy as I mentioned above.

 

Ok thats cool , i don't know much about the 89 speedos , so i learned something here, thanks ... Lew

 

Mine is 10 miles from being 00,000!!! 200k there I come

 

that is against the law.

you are welcome.

 

I think as long as you dont sell it and keep it for ever you should be fine, not a 100% positive lol

 

i did it.. its a bit complicated but its possible.. you have to take apart the whole thing.. the gears that holds the turning things with the numbers on it.. and put it at 0.000 and carefully set it together back..

 

Usually when people tamper with an odometer, they roll the mileage backwards

 

I would also like to "roll mine forward": My 1995 F350, upon reaching 399,999.9, rolled not to 400,000.0 but back to 300,000.0. I drove, fueled, insured, licensed, and serviced this truck for 100,000 miles of which I now feel robbed! It seems that these LCD odometers were not programmed to display any digit above 3 in the leftmost position. Perhaps there is a tech savvy person here in FTE Land that could offer a "workaround" for this condition? Based on previous research here and elsewhere I know there are others in the same situation.

dn.

 

Are you kidding me!! That sucks!!

 

I don't think tampering with an odometer on an older vehicle is illegal.

I think it is something like 15 years or something.

What about when you install a different instrument cluster to replace a damaged one?

Also, I have a new instrument cluster in my 65 Mustang now that reads about 1200 miles. I figure since the car is mostly restored and has that many miles on the new drivetrain it is correct.

If the instrument cluster is changed or the mileage is not accurate for the vehicle, you'll have to sign a mileage disclosure statement when the vehicle is sold or the title is transferred. I just looked at the title for my truck and there isn't a vehicle age limit on the mileage disclosure statement.

At the end of the day, do what you want, but know that changing mileage readings is illegal, and if you ever sell the vehicle, you'll have to disclose the alteration. There is also a check-box for when the odometer is above its mechanical limits, as in the case of the odometer that won't go past 399999.9 miles.
