My odometer was on its 4th go-round when I finally changed it out last year. I don't use the odometer to track overall miles, more or less a maintenance schedule. If it said 98,000 and I changed the oil, I put 1,000 on the label maker (I keep my maintenance schedule stuck to the inside of the driver's door).

When anyone asks me how many miles are on the truck, my answer is "about 440k". For years I ran with it calibrated for 4.56 gears while running 3.73s. I just recalculated in my head. For the most part though when someone asks me about miles I will tell them, "Lots. Some parts have more and some less, it's 41 years old!"
