When I redid my Sprint I put it on zero and I will do the same with my GT. I would like to do it with my 57 Ranchwagon project but I plan on using the digital dash out of the Lincoln. Anyone know how to set them?
i think modern digital dashes get their reading from the computer which is actually keeping track of the milage. like if you unpluged the gauge cluster for 1000 miles and pluged it back in it would still read the cars actuall milage.
Not all of them, I remember when the trailblazers first came out, you could pull the fuse for the interior stuff and it would skip right over those miles, crazy.
I'm sure its tamper proof but I'm also sure there is a way. Just need to find the guy with the know how.
My '74 Grabber did that on 11/9/05. Some friends and I were going to get some breakfast before going to school one morning. Unfortunately, just 582 miles later, it was wrecked. I was also driving my mom's '02 Taurus when it turned over 100,000, and my dad's '95 Mustang when it hit 200,000.
In my pictures above, that was the second time that car had turned back to all zeros. My '72 will be doing it for the third time within the next 6 months or so, currently at 283,303 miles when I pulled in the driveway earlier today after coming back from our Christmas meet. The engine currently in it, I pulled out of a 30,000 original mile '71 Grabber. It still had the original Autolite belt and the original radiator hoses with the numbers and Ford logo stamped on them.
