mileage

The level of stupidity of the question just amazes me, that is like asking how to kill somebody on line where authorities can actually look.

I remember reading something about tamper indicators that some manufacturers put on the cable disconnect for the dial-type guages that is not really obvious to a perpetrator. This would probably explain the decrease in used car dealership rollbacks since the 80's. I think now, the digital ones would be close to impossible to alter. (I wonder if the ECM stores the mileage also?)

Anybody old enough to remember the '70's when the mileage guage only had 5 digits, because a car lasting 100k miles was a rarity back then....even on imports.

#2: You know thats highly illegal, right?

#3: Why?

haha, WTF? Was the first thing out of my mouth too. I'm like, this is totally illegal and he's just asking it online... wow.

The ECU stores the mileage as well. Even if you stopped your counter on the dash, it could be reset at the dealership very easily.
