Default Has anyone changed the mileage chip from an old panel to new one?
I have an 87 TA GTA and the digital instrument panel went on the fritz. I replaced the dash with another unit and it shows a higher mileage than original. Has anyone swapped the chips out to show the original mileage.

thanks

I changed over the chip from one unit to the other and now it is showing the correct mileage. I am happy. Just removed the chip from the old dash to the new dash and that was it.

Anyone know if there's a similar chip in the LS1 f-body gauge panel? Just curious.

Here is a pic of the chip and module. The chip is located at the rear of the PCb bd and simply lifts upward.

98 has completely different circuitry than a 87.
The 98 doesn't look like that pic of an 87.

If I remember correctly, it is not a removable chip. I think there have been a few threads on this in the past.
