Odometer question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How do I roll back my odometer. I have the gauge cluster apart and the speed/odometer in my hand. I am looking at it, and it looks like the only thing I am manually able to roll is the tenths line. Anybody have an idea?

WELL I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS ILLEGAL, HOWEVER I HAVE HEARD OF
USEING A CORDLESS DRILL ON THE SPEEDO CABLE ATTACHMENT, I THINK

LOL. I think it's illegal for new cars, but our old ones I don't know. Being that I hae the guage cluster apart, I want to roll it back just to see how many miles I can get out of this engine since I now own it.

THE CORDLESS / STANDARD DRILL THING WORKS, JUST TAKES A LONG TIME,
YOU WILL BASICALLY HAVE TO GO FORWARD AND ROLL IT OVER 99999.

NOT that i have done this but you need to split the bracket that holds the number wheels slide them apart and realighn them to the number you want zero is real easy the only trik is to make sure the numbers are in proper allighnment to eachother .

Right, me either.

be sure not to break the plastic retainer when you disassemble it.

Don't leave any finger prints...

Here in Pa,once a vehicle is as old as our trucks they automaticaly state that the odometer is not correct on the title.

Be real careful with the speedometer needle. At least on the 73-up trucks they are designed to break off if tampered with.
