i dont imagine its even possible..
as all engine functions are tied together, and can be recorded/pulled by the dealer...
its not like the old days were u could simply unplug a cable/wire and have no ill effects..
not to mention trying to extend ur warrenty that method would be really bad for your Karma..

I had to read the thread 'cause he wrote "obometer" Thought it might be a "political" thing.

Where are the miles stored ? is it just in the cluster like many of the GM trucks (1500, 2500 series) 2000 thru 2007. The GM's did not store in the PCM or any other external module (Like the 80's vette). I know GM owners that purchased 1500 series HD clusters to get the Tranny Temperature guage and swapping out the cluster gave them whatever miles the new cluster had (weather new -0- miles or used from a junker with donors vehicle miles).
Where does Ford store the miles Cluster, PCM, external module ?
I would like to know since I recently purchased a very low milage MH on a E350.

And yes, there is such thing as a bad question. This is one of them.

In addition to the fraud, how might you expect to accurately provide for routine maintenance, particularly the unique and mileage sensitive needs of a PSD? Let me guess....probably won't maintain it cause it'll always be under warranty, eh?
