Default Instrument cluster program

Does anyone know how to set the mileage on the odometer of a 2002 Pontiac Firebird?

YOU can't. It has to be sent out if you are swapping clusters. You'd have to talk to a dealership about it. Changing the odometer other than an authorized way is kinda on the illegal side. I'm not aware of any other places that can do it for you, though there likely are other companies.

I know I've seen some kind of device that your connected to the gauge cluster and you could change back the odometer. Highly illegal and when I see someone posting on here about their low mileage 4th Generation Fbody car I always find it

I knew it's illegal to set it back, I'm actually trying to add miles to it so the new cluster will have the exact miles is actually on my car. Thanks for the help I found odometer shop that can do it so they say

can you add miles to it? My car has 221,000 on it and the cluster says 151000 and I wanted to say to 221,000

It's illegal to tamper with an odometer in any way unless there is a certified place doing it, adding or removing miles. If you found a place who can do it, then I'd have them do it.
