Changing Odometer Reading


Recommended Posts

Posted

I swapped in a new cluster (pics in a week or two) and now my mileage is off. Luckily I need to raise the mileage, not lower it. The dealer won't do it. So, two questions: 1) Approximately how much will a speedometer shop charge to change the display mileage? 2) Can this be done with, say, HP Tuners?

 

The cluster reads ~125k but I need it to read ~302k (it WILL match the mileage the truck has stored if it matters).

I dunno, will a TECH II even do this? Anybody know? I have wondered about how to change the mileage on GM's. I bought a new instrument panel for my 99 with a temp gauge..... I did not want to put mine in till I knew how to change the mileage and hours on it........ Thou the gauge pack only has 22,000 miles on it.... hahaha

even if it could its highly illegal to even touch the odometer let alone it pretty much takes a dump on the value of the vehicle...

Note if your changing clusters(new or old)you need to correct mileage that is legal but has to be disclosed by a mileage statement........

As has been mentioned, it's not illegal if you are correcting the mileage after a cluster swap. I'd rather not mess with the DMV on this..who would raise their odometer reading almost 180k to decieve someone??

 

If it's going to be a huge deal I'll just keep my 125k, but I'd much rather have my 300k back :cool:

people sue over the stupidest crap ever, and yes if you added miles to it and sold it you could be held for fraud....i know its retarded....dmv is about the only way you can deal with it if the dealer won't touch it (which they would be stupid to without the proper authority to do so) i can respect what your doing though man, so many people now a days would take the low mileage reading and run with it...contact the dmv and see what they have to say

Just document what you done, and if you sell it mark on the title that the odometer is not right. The titles for Indiana have a line that states is the odometer right. The new ower if they know anything about that year of truck should know the problems with those years.. my two cents

That and the point that if you do it at the dealership its reported anyway to carfax, insurance company and a smattering of other places depending on state or province.

 

Its not Illegal or fraud if it has to be done. As long as like everyone said...its documented. Now if he left it alone with 125K on it that would be a big difference.

some shops will provide you with a sticker that has the original milage you place on your door jamb for example.

find an ebay seller for clusters that advertises that they can reset the mileage to be accurate, contact them about sending in your cluster to increase the mileage, they shouldn't have an issue with increasing it. I've had one "recalibrated" on my '03, the shop in California just wanted a very recent shop ticket showing the VIN, date and mileage. I sent cluster, when they had it I faxed in a ticket from that day (free alignment check FTW! lol) and I had it back in 2 days. My cluster was no more than ~100 miles off

The mileage in full size trucks is kept only in the cluster and no where else. The mileage in the Colorado and Canyon is kept in the BCM.

 

Speedo shops can change the miles for you as long as you have your old cluster to verify miles. The guys who sell clusters on ebay do it all the time.

 

here is a bulletin from GM on how to change mileage and where it is kept on all their vehicles. It will be in the IPC, instrument panel cluster or the BCM...

#07-08-49-020B: IPC Odometer Programming Method Quick Reference Guide - (May 22, 2008)

 

 

Subject: IPC Odometer Programming Method Quick Reference Guide

 

 

Models: 2003-2009 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn)

 

2003-2009 HUMMER H2, H3

 

2005-2009 Saab 9-7X

 

 

 

Attention: This bulletin applies to vehicles sold in the U.S. and Canada Only.

 

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

This bulletin is being revised to add information for the 2009 model year and add new 2009 vehicles. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-08-49-020A (Section 08 -- Body & Accessories).

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The purpose of this bulletin is to provide a reference guide to help identify which season odometer programming method to use after replacing the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). The three season odometer programming methods in use today are listed below. In addition, this reference guide lists the component where the season odometer value is stored. The season odometer value may be stored in the IPC, the Driver Information Center (DIC), or the Integrated Body Control Module (IBCM), also commonly called a Body Control Module (BCM).

 

Season Odometer Programming Methods In Use Today

IPC reprogramming and setup using the Service Programming System (SPS).

Odometer setup at the Electronic Service Center (ESC) when using an exchange IPC/DIC.

Tech2® -- The Tech2 is used to setup a replacement BCM, which includes loading the odometer value that is displayed and stored in the IPC. A replacement IPC will display the previously stored vehicle odometer value, communicated from the BCM, after cycling the ignition or driving the vehicle.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.

guys....contact Charlie at Florida Speedometer....he did a swap on my Suburban to Escalade Cluster last month...works perfect, just fill out the disclaimer and include it with you cluster when you send it in.

Posted
I already installed the new cluster.

 

 

Your truck now reads 125K instead of 302K.

 

The IPC stores the Mileage.

 

The BCM will "keep record" of the current mileage.

 

Swap in a new cluster? With LOWER mileage?!?!? Guess what.

 

The BCM UPDATES itself. Yeah. Got 128K? The BCM sees 128K.

 

Plug in a cluster with 52K? Fire it up. Drive around. Oh look, Hi. The BCM now reads....

 

52K

I second this...except I did not have my mileage updated. Charlie updated the internal software to recognize the steering wheel controls for the DIC. He knows what he is doing...

    • It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.  
    • Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.
    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
