The best way to keep the miles off it is to park it and never drive it again . Also show us a pic of your truck so we know what not to buy on a used car lot. How would you feel when you bought a truck you thought had low miles on it had 30,000+ more miles on it than you thought it had. Plus if you get caught you might have bubba for your cell mate just a few things to think about.

i did something like this when i was young and foolish. i did it on a motorcycle.

the bike was sold and i told the buyer about the mileage being off.

i realized how wrong it was when i went to make the sale. i felt better letting the person know. hope you re-read this post and think about what you are doing.

if you proceed with your actions you are trash, if you change you are enlightened.

do the right thing baby

Here's an easy way. Put your truck on jackstands and put it in reverse and run it for a few hours. The odometer's mileage should roll back!! Hmmm, what movie did I see that in??? LOL

How would you feel if you ended up with a truck where the owner was able to turn the odometer off?

DDCHANT, If your concerned about excessive mileage, don't be. F-150's are the best dang truck in America. Wash 'er up and put a FOR SALE sign on 'er and the rest is automatic!
