Thoughts? I either need glasses or your picture is out of focus.

You don't need to see the mileage to tell if its tampering look at the steering wheel column

Jim, you've been working over too many bananas.


Only way to tamper is to change out the CCM and reprogram it.


Now get back to wiping down your POS with a diaper.

All I see is a lot of numbers.
What those numbers are is a very good question.
It might have something to do with how many beers I've had tonight, or it might have something to do with how many beers the camera had before it took the picture.
Either way, it's a lot of numbers.

yeah the mileage can only be changed through the CCM either put a lower mileage one in or get a new one and start from zero or GM programs your mileage into it.

and that magical little box is behind the radio and not easy to get it out you have to dismantle the interior and dash to get it out.

I just don't know if tampering with the odo is very feasible. It's hard to keep these cars looking and running like new. The amount of time and money to make the car look like a car with a substantial less miles wouldn't seem worth it to me. Plus, the people looking to buy these cars seem to worry about every little detail.

I had one guy question my mileage due to my rear tires! It's like dude, these are the original tires on a 375 hp car. They're not gonna look fresh off the mold.
