Resetting odometer?

[J-Rod]

Hey guys,



I recently bought an escalade gauge cluster for my 99 silverado & it cam with 0 miles on the clock. My old one had 130k, so i took it down to the chevy dealership/repair center and they 'transfer' the miles to your new cluster for 60 bucks.

Of course I didn't pay it, cuz I'm a cheap b@stard, and I don't plan on getting rid of my truck anytime soon.

You guys are right for some vehicles as far as storing the info. Ralph's Tahoe is not like that. I checked with my service mgr this morning to be sure and he said on a 96 Tahoe, it is all stored in the cluster. In Ralph's spot, he would be OK, but you guys are correct for a lot of vehicles. Hope this helps! Mark

Very cool, thanks for the info.

Clint, I hope that 10yr. law applies in NY as well.

J-Rod, I would have paid it either. Is the '99 dash the same as '96, or did they change in 98? Have any pics of the escalade cluster?

That's a good question ralph. I know they changed it up in either 96 or 97, there was an intermediate style dash in there for a couple years. The cool thing about the esca cluster; it has a trans temp gauge. the COOLER thing; my silverado was already pre-wired for it. I plugged in the dash and BING....it worked!

Damn, that cluster is REALLY nice! I don't think it'd fit in my Tahoe, though. It's too round. I know that in '98 they started adding a passenger airbag, perhaps they changed the cluster in '97, too. That's gotta be one of the nicest looking factory clusters I've seen, though. Trans-temp gauge is definitely a bonus!

Yeah, looks like your cluster is one style before mine. Bunch of em on ebay though!

Yeah, I like it a lot. It gives the cabin that extra lil touch

Very nice! Got any pics? Some of the mods sound similar to my Tahoe.

Cowl hood, 33" Toyos, 16x8 AR-23s, clear corners and parking lights, flowmaster catback. It's black also. I've got no lift, and a busted stock stereo, though...lol. My friend's dad has a blue '97 2 door tahoe with the same size wheel / tire combo. He just put a roll pan on his, it looks awesome.

Ralph if you have a steady hand you can pull the cluster and put the mileage at whatever you want it to be @..."seen" it done ALOT

That's what I will likely do when the truck gets a rebuild. Either that or just get a new cluster all together. Like I said, the 0 miles is for nothing more than to signify the entire rebuild of the truck (which will be a frame off job). I would never try to pass it off as a low mileage truck, and I'll probably never sell the truck. I tried to sell it a few months ago, and it didn't sell, probably becuase I was TOO honest with potential buyers. It was for the best though, as I don't think I'll ever sell it now. Either way, the rebuild won't be happening for a few years, so I've got time to figure out the best solution, lol.
