Odometer

[1973 Chevy]

Whenever I get my truck finished I will have zero miles on everything and my odometer is at about 65,000 right now. So is there a way to reset it to read 0? I'm pretty sure its illegal but my truck is exempt from odometer anyways.

I have had them apart down to the corckscrew gear that actually drives everything and removed it, that's about it. Lot of little parts in there, lol.

You get anything done in there? Haha can you change anything going that far?

I've changed the ODO on Camaro speedos before, the trucks are the same setup I think.

Just removed that gear so I can still have a speedometer and VSS but not add miles to keep under the 5K limit for emissions testing. But they did testing anyway.

That was 2 years ago. So I left it alone the following year and it skipped missions even though I went over the limit.

I tried that already, going 35,000 miles @ 35mph requires A LOT of time and probably a couple burnt up drills lol.

you have replaced most of the truck why not a new speedometer?

IIRC you can pull the worm gear to the side just enough to roll all the counters back to zero.

I'll dig into it one day and see what I can do.

Thats my last resort, I know them aren't the cheapest thing in the truck.

I got it figured out. Its actually a lot easier than you think, you have to take out the scroll with the numbers on it then simply follow this video. You have to move the metal tabs in the oppositte direction than the video but they only go one way.
