Adding miles to an odometer
Adding miles to an odometer
If you were to replace your odometer with one with less mileage, how would you roll the odometer forward to match your current mileage? Do I just send a voltage signal to a harness or connector or do I physically have to roll it?

i BELIEVE so dont quote me on this but the pre 97's can be physically rolled but the 98+ needs to be taken to the dealer

98-up are digital, so you are right about that

just take out your old odometer and put it in the new gauge cluster.
It's possible to roll a 97, I tried doing it after I screwed up my old gauge cluster, but on mine at least, you can only roll the 10th's.. so imagine rolling any significant miles.. not fun..

You're right, I didn't understand.. I thought you were putting in a new gauge cluster and just were trying to match the odometers.. my bad. in that case.. umm, that sucks, good luck trying to find a way to do it.. rolling it by hand will be no fun
Rolling forward you can do with a drill on the end of the odometer (for a 97 earlier) but has a break mechanism that will ruin the odometer if you try to roll it back much. A digital odometer (98+) has to be set by a dealer, and i think they would be willing to set it forward for u

Hmm i have always wondered this myself. Someone must know, legaly or illegaly, there must be a way.
why would you want to do that??
