Hardest part ( other then lining up all the wheels, cogs and followers if you decided to reset yours rather then swap ) is getting the circuit board cable plugged back in.
Fwiw... wear laxtex gloves when you are working on the instrument cluster or your face plate is going to end up with a bunch of smudges on it.

Somethings wrong with your Tachometer there Pirate, it doesn't have enough numbers on it.

Interesting thread, although my Ex has the digital odometer.
I know it's been a problem to move odometers, but a friend in the wholesale car business has told me more than once that vehicles are exempt from odometer disclosure once they reach 10 years of age...so all our trucks are exempt.

Odometer tampering is a federal offense and a felony and falls under u.s.c. 49 title 15
It's only a crime if you tamper with the mileage to defraud, you can do repair or maintainence.

Like Camo's info posted above, you're not being argumentative. It is info that is helpful too keep people from breaking the law.

Years ago the digital odometers in some vehicles had a chip that stored the data. When swapping dashes, you were supposed to remove your old chip and install it in the new dash to keep your mileage.
No idea about today's, haven't had to deal with it for a long time
