Default is it possible to reset the odometer??

i only ask because i had to buy a new cluster off ebay cuz mine **** the bed, and unfortunately the one i bought had around 36000 miles at the time. now i have a buddy at gm i can still have warranty work done through, but not if my odometer reads 40k miles. anyone have a suggestion on what to do? could the dealer look into the pcm somehow and see how many miles i really have?

I think it is stored in the cluster to keep you from messing with it. I am sure with a few searches we could figure it out...

The dealer can change it. There are guys on another truck board who put Escalade clusters in their Silverados and had the dealer correct the mileage.

The cluster would have to sent out to change the mileage.If your car is under warranty why are buying a cluster off of ebay?

cuz i had bought a set of stick on guages and i wanted some macewen guages , but they wouldnt come off, so i sold the cluster as a whole and bought another one. well, the one i bought was a 98 model which has different connections in the back, so it fried mine. so i couldnt very well take it to the dealer if it wasnt even the right one. anyway, i bought one with 36k on it and put the macewen guages on it now i have 40k miles and i cant get warranty work done, even thru my buddy, with 40k on the clock. any ideas?

Looks like you have to send it out. Call a local speedo shop and see what they have to say.

Dealers have a tool called Tech II and with the green key card and PC software it can be changed. I have one but have stoped doing it for people as I found out I can get in a LOT of **** for it. I was using it to change VINs on cars to match others so people could share software.

But yes a dealer can do it.
