Re: Turning odometer back to zero
Sorry to bring back an old thread....

Re: Turning odometer back to zero
Mine quit working as well, and I had to take it apart and give it a good dose of WD40 and get the dirt and rust out. Then I set it to the approximate mileage it should be at to count for the amount of time it was not working, considering about how many miles per month I drive. The plastic piece described above will break apart. I fabricated a replacement plastic piece of a coffee can lid using an xacto knife. Here is a thread with more info. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=321688
In Texas for title and registration purposes a truck this old just has EXEMPT in the mileage field even if you give the state the actual mileage when you do the paperwork, so what miles are on the odometer really doesn't matter. But I set mine to actual mileage best I can, and the actual mileage goes on the paperwork when I get an inspection every year. I have to tell the mechanic the odometer has flipped over one time so he adds 100,000 to the number shown on the odometer. Obviously, it is necessary to repair odometers from time to time, so for some states it may be necessary to declare that the odometer was repaired when doing the title or registration paperwork. |
