Incorrect MPH readings after changing gauges?
I have a 1992 GXE, I changed the gauges from the originals to the SE's white face 145MPH. Would this cause a problem in the gauge reading being that the gauge is from an SE going onto a GXE?

Its not hard to switch the odometer, you just take out the fuel/temp gauge.

And if you want to make your stalks look a lot better get the armorall interior wipes, along with the rest of the interior.

Everytime you're at a red light, just scratch at it, eventually it'll look brand new

Find one of those speed-traps to drive past and that'll tell you your speed, and the speed you're supposed to be going.
