Stopping millage counting on GP

[Freebeer187]

Just for educational purpose, is it possible to stop the counting of miles on a GP? A friend of mine told be that his mechanic was going to stop the millage counting on his 06 Trail Blazer.

Right at this time I had a light bulb blink on above my head

BTW, anything beside physically breaking the mechanism.

There's always a way, my question is why, and is the felony worth it??

Get a different gauge cluster, put in the stock one for emissions, then put in the other one again. That's the best i can think of, very illegal but so are a lot things.

in 04+ chevy trucks, I think the mileage is in the PCM, so this could probably be done with a tuner on the trailblazer

unless its a bike i wouldnt do it. its not worth it both legally and financially.

You could pull the fuse for the HUD but it is very illegal and I wouldn't encourage it.

Many electronic clusters store the mileage inside of them, and not in the ECU.

For example, in a ford focus (not that I'd know, nor have I ever done this.....)

If you pull the fuse for the gauge cluster, the car will not log miles (but you loose your gauge cluster because it has no power)

It is very easy to take connectors, and wire it to a fused switch so for example, so you can get onto the freeway (cluster working, recording miles) and then set your cruise, and then kill the cluster.

But for reference, this is a 'felony', BUT the only way I can imagine this being 'dangerous' is in case you get into an accident while its installed and then your insurance company gets wind of it, you're in a heap of shit.

so whats the point of this?

 

[Freebeer187]

Felony aye? Did not know it was that serious of business.

 

[snoop]

yeah dude, its pretty serious..if i was you, keep this in a pm...shit, maybe even delete this thread. get your answers and bounce. dont get too into this in the open

but then again, its only illegal if you get caught right? lol
