THE
FEDERAL ODOMETER TAMPERING STATUTES




Altering the mileage reading on a motor vehicle is a felony. Effective
July 5, 1994, the odometer tampering statutes were recodified from Title
15, U.S.C., to Title 49. The change was not substantive, though the statutes
were reworded. Some of the old and new statutes are:

Tampering prohibition: moved from 15 U.S.C. § 1984 to 49 U.S.C. § 32703(2).
False odometer statement prohibition: moved from 15 U.S.C. § 1988 to
49 U.S.C. § 32705(a)(2).
Odometer fraud conspiracy prohibition: moved from 15 U.S.C. § 1986 to
49 U.S.C. § 32703(4).
Criminal penalty provision: moved from 15 U.S.C. § 1990c to 49 U.S.C.
§ 32709(b).

He's not trying to lower the Miles, he's just trying to keep his original miles. So I don't see that as being against the law, if he was trying to lower them or something like that I could see the issue. My truck has 53,000 original miles,and if something went wrong I know I'd be doing everything I could to keep those miles on my speedo.

Yes, you can do it. check out Southern Electronics in Richmond, VA. There are other shops who will do it, most require you to submit an affidavit re: the true mileage.
