Does anyone know if there is a draw back if i disconnect my odometer

Colonel

You mean other than fraud? Why would you want to disconnect?

Why does the dealer measure tire depth each time you go in for service? Is he verifying mileage? If not, why would he care how worn my tires are?

I'm just wondering if I should screw with him by switching tires.

Colonel

I would.

Just wonder if they "have" to recommend tire service if its not within limits. Not sure they really track mileage acurately that way. If I did a lot of peel outs, it would not be accurate.

They want to sell you more tires.

Actually, me dealer REFUSES any kind of service for tires. I had a problem tire that wouldn't hold air and they told me to take it to a local tire shop. If it was found defective they "might" be able to do something about it.

The only drawback I can think of is jail-time or a fine for fraud if you get caught!

Don't forget you have to sign a document verifying the mileage is accrurate when you get ready to sell it or trade it in.

There's always a way, even though I don't recommend it. For example, black boxes (stolen cable), Credit cards, phone cards and whole lot more stuff. So in other words, it can be done. If you do it, don't get caught.

there is not a way.

Mileage is stored in the ECU AND the speedo cluster. should you ever have to have one replaced, you will lose alot of resale.. most states require you to have notorized affidavit for selling a car with mismatching ODO.. anybody with scantool would see the problem, like when they took it in for service.

why you would want to bring that mess on yourself voluntarily is beyond me.. You stand to lose, caught or not. (by 'not' I mean they catch it, which they would like at the first OBD2 emissions check, and decide to press charges or not)

Yes, they won't REPAIR tires, but they will be more than happy to SELL you some....at a 300% markup.
