when i bought my truck in 98 the odometer read 41000 miles 6 months and 40000 miles later at a little over 80000 miles it shorted out and the local dealer replaced it no paper work and instead of the odometer reading 80000 miles it read zero. Not a problem by any means but since i am keeping the truck i would like to have the mileage match all my paper work.

In addition to that my speed setting has always been off to my tire size since they replaced the brain.

I would like to acurately set my mileage back to what it should be especially since i keep such detailed records of my services. MT is one of a few states with no consumer protection nor extensive vehicle records thus there are many dealers here that role back mileage even on computerized vehicles. I know because my little bother worked for one who used to do it to Canadian fords that he imported till he was arrested and closed down for drug trafficing.

I want to know if i can roll my mileage forward to get an accurate reading, i have documentation and a notorized certificate of actual mileage & the title says odometewr mileage is not actual mileage, i am also aware of the legalities with odometer adjustments. I have been told that rolling it forward is a different proceedure than back? The state suggested i just find a ford dealer to re-adjust it but the local ford dealer and i dont have a very healthy relationship since the local court and i nailed them to the wall for a fraudulant repair schedule they were applying to unsuspecting non-warranty customers including an attempt on my wallet.

Also i want to know how to adjust to a tire size of 34.45 Odiameter what code would that be. and what procedure do i go through to adjust

If this string evolves into a dialog about anything illegal like ways to commit odometer fraud and rolling back odometers the moderators will have to lock it. I am not sure of the legality of an individual rolling an odometer forward. Please be mindful of the legality of what you write since this topic is questionable (boarder line)on its legality and could prove troublesome to FTE and its users.

Why Buy new when you can build and tailor it cheaper?

My other toy is a '69 CJ-5 354 Hemi 4 spd 4.88's 32x12.50 MThompsons w/ power-lok 44 rear.

 

On second thought lets discus how to set the tire size and speed code it is more important than having an accurate odometer mileage reading.

Thanks Guys
Dusty

There's a real good article under tech articles. It's about how to recalibrate your speedo. Check it out.

As to the odometer, not a clue.

 

 

The only way to do the odometer is to bring it to the dealer. They can definitely do it. They should have done it whenever the replaced the faulty speedo. If they didn't do it then in my opinion that constitutes odometer fraud. I'd bring it back to the dealer and make them do it. They should've done it in the first place.

My friend just bought a replacement speedo from the dealer and they rolled it forward for him. He changed it himself.

Just my opinion,

John
