Default Advance the odometer?

I'm doing a complete LS swap into an LSx car ie: replacing everything. My LS parts car has a lower odometer reading than my LTx car, how can I advance the LS gauge cluster to read the correct mileage for the LTx car? I need to go from 60kish miles to over 100k.

I have searched and I can only come up with people asking how to "roll back" the odometer (big surprise). Thanks for any help,

Larry

Simple. Jack the car up and place jack stands under the rear axle. Place the car in 6th gear. Go grab some lunch. Come back and hope your car hasn't launched itself through a big glass wall lol

I've got a tech 2 and the GM tools, and never seen a way to program the odometer forward.

It goes from state to state. all have different laws, In Arkansas for example anything over 7 or 8 years old gets ,marked as exempt and mileage on the car does not matter as far as the dmv(state) cares. also Miles goes with the vin not "complete swap of stuff" even if your wanting to roll up the miles...

Yeah, I want the new cluster to match the one I'm taking out. I'm not looking for a bunch of BS paperwork and waivers when inspection/emissions time rolls around.
