Weird Odometer Issue
Hey so I've been gone for some time, the old girl has just be running like a effin champ without so much as a hiccup for months now. Which is horribly out of character as some of you can relate to. I've been throwing it up mountains, through creeks and rivers, hauling, plowing snow. She even stopped burning oil and the courtesy lights that have never worked in my almost 4 years of ownership have miraculously started to work as with the door chime on the drivers side which has been gone for like 3. Which is a bit of a WTF? 
Well I've been waiting and driving pretty much since I got the truck for the ODO to roll over 400,000 Km's and well it did today, although oddly it didn't. It went from 399,999.9 to 300,000. Has anyone had this issue? Normally one should be happy I guess but it just seems wrong and I know it's going to fester and **** me off. It's the XLT Lariat model with the digital Odometer.

The guys on the OBS stroke forum all say that the odometer returns to 300,000 as the odometer has no provision for the 4 on the first digit. As your 92 is the same body style, I would say your odometer is par for the course.
