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
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??

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
