replacing gauge cluster/rolling back odo
replacing gauge cluster/rolling back odo okay so i am replacing the 110mph gauge cluster in my ride with a 150 and the cluster i have now reads 76xxx miles on the car which is the right amount of miles, the cluster i am buying says 148xxx miles, how do i roll back the new one so it reads how many miles are actually on the car.

I'm pretty sure that data isn't stored in the cluster, but in one of the computer components of the car. The clusters are plug'n'play-- so when you put the new one it should automatically read 76K instead of 148K

put the car on jack stands, start it up, put it in reverse, and stick a brick on the accelerator...that 70k mi will come off in no time

You can do it, you have to take it apart right down to the Dial, and hold each one of them little Number Wheels individually. I can't explain it, it's one of them things that you have to see. It was a bitch to do because you have to make sure the little catches will flip the next Wheel when it rotates, and they only go one way. You have to start with the left and work your way to the right, and if the number in that slot is lower, then you have to make sure the number before it is one before what it has to be.
Like I said, you have to see it to understand it. I have done it though.

Yep. The whole odometer portion of the cluster unbolts and unhooks once you open up the case. Just takes a few minutes to do once you've got both clusters in hand.
Take it to a dealership and they will do it for cheap, and it will be documented in case someone finds an inconsistency.
Or just take out the odometer and replace it, it is not hard at all.
