odometer: 89k or 189k?
Is there a way to tell how many times an odometer has rolled over? (ie gone past 99k and started over)
i have a truck with "low mileage" and i just want to make sure that it does not have one or two hundred thousand miles more than i think on it..

I don't think going by how the numbers align will tell you anything. The alignment of the numbers changes constantly as the larger numbers get closer to rolling over. Once they roll over, all the numbers line up again.

You really can't go by the alignment of the numbers. Although, if the odometer has been tampered with, I understand there are marks that show up across the numbers horizontally to indicate that. Never seen one with them myself, so I can only go by what I have been told.
