Mileage Re-set

Hi Guys, bought another instrument cluster for my 2003 SRT-10 as the fuel gauge was not working properly. The new cluster had 1k miles on it and my car had 30k on it. When I fitted the new cluster the fuel gauge works fine and the mileage has gone from 1k up to the original 30k! How is this possible? Is there a 2nd memory or something?

My first guess would be that the PCM told it the true mileage...

Who admitted trying to scam? I just wondered how a car can change the mileage itself! And yes I am a Viper owner are you?

I think you are missing my point. I was not trying to lower the miles. I just found it amazing that the car could correct it!

You could very possibly deserve pity in light of being the dumbest mother fucker put on this planet. Hopefully someone here will give it to you. I, however, will not. -17 dipshit

Mileage on electronic display odometers is usually stored in the ECM...against federal law to alter or tamper with. Some automatically reset to OM... be thankful it did otherwise you would be stuck with a mileage descrepency title..

Guess that little plan didn't work....huh?.

-1 ....... woohoo, first neg rep given

I will take it a step further and say most in not all OBD2 cars will store the miles in the pcm/ecu. My 97 (non digital ODO) miles can be read from both places.

Actually, every person in this thread so far is incorrect as to where it is located and how it works. If any of you LEGIT guys want to know, PM me. As far as posting openly, NO WAY. Just know it is tamper proof in many ways, no easy way to crack this egg.

I will say that it is ALSO in the PCM, even on SRT's like the Gen-2... but anyone with a DRB-III knows that doesnt mean a damn thing and cannot be trusted anyway... mainly just a back-up reference check.
