we just got a speedo cluster for a mustang we have here at the shop.. the guy brought it straight form the dealership on a trailer and it had 2 miles on it.. he is wanting to put in some cobra 160MPH guages on it as well as with some other things...

the cluster has i think 23,000 miles on it

is there some way to reset these guages or do they need to go to the deaeler and will the dealer even do them....



sorry....

 

Hi Steven1642,

There are a couple of ways to do that. The first is to talk with your local dealership service department, that's the easiest thing to do, just sit down with the Service Manager (not a service writer, talk directly with the Service Manager) and tell him/her exactly what you're doing there. Preferably, the dealership your customer just bought his new Mustang from, they should be willing to help out with this since they *know* the vehicle is brand new and there's no monkey business going on like odometer tampering for illegal purposes.

Then the second approach would be to talk to a speedometer repair shop, as there are methods that will allow qualified independant shops to actually alter the miles registered on the odometer so the odometer will accurately reflect the number of miles on the vehicle, which is also stored in the PCM (powertrain control module, the "computer"), so they must match.

There may be other ways as well, but those are the 2 ways that we're familiar with.

Good luck!
