You can turn it backward or forward (which ever is closest to zero) with a reversible electric drill but it takes a long time. Or you can remove and partially dissassemble the speedometer. You can bend the portion of the frame holding the axle for the odometer, then remove and reset the dials on the axle. But I warn you--it isn't easy and it may be illegal.

No.
--a rebuild is not a new engine
--the rest of the truck is not new
--it's probably illegal
--you may have to sign a mileage statment when you sell or trade
--if I was a buyer and found out you turned it back because of a rebuilt engine, I wouldn't buy at any price.

Some states may not care, if the vehicle is over ten years old. I think they just stamp the title "Exceeds Mechanical Limits" if the maximum capable odometer reading is 99,999.9 miles. That was what was on the title for an old Chevette I bought here in FL.

Still illeagal? Maybe, but I wont be selling my trucks for anything other than parts.
