Adjusting the mileage?
Hey all,
Wonder if someone may be able to help or know someone that can help. I recently had my gauge cluster fail on me, so I bought a used cluster to replace it. The problem I am having is that the new cluster has ALOT less miles than my car has, and I really want to get it set to the current mileage. If it were a matter of a few thousand miles I would not worry about it, but its like 80k miles. My local dealer which is pretty large told me they do not have the equipment to change the mileage and I would have to send out the cluster to specmo at the tune of $450. I'm located in Madison, WI and willing to travel if someone knows someone that can get this done, preferably on the cheap.
Thanks everyone!

Who gave you the $450 cost? Is that Specmo's estimate or somebody elses? Have you tried a different dealer?

Yeah, the new cluster is in, noise is gone thank god. Cluster is just like 80k off. I havent called any other dealers as this was really the only one in my area that is a large chevy dealer and figured they would know best. $450 was the dealers estimate for the cost.

Wow, thanks for the info! I may actually be able to use this for work as well. Whats not good is that I dont have the numbers off the ipc so i will have to pull the cluster out...again. This will be time number 4.
