mpgast Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 The odometer is reading in the 25000s but should be reading 68000s. Is the odometer fixable? If so where in Southwest Florida is a good mechanic? Mike 2007 Holiday Rambler Neptune 325 Cummins Allison Trans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck B 2004 Windsor Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 It's against the law to tamper with a vehicle odometer reading. Chuck B 2004 Windsor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpgast Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 Nobody messed with the odometer. It just stopped working correctly. do you anything positive about fixing odometer? We can get correct mileage from the ECM unit on the motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck B 2004 Windsor Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Good luck in finding a mechanic to fix it. Chuck B 2004 Windsor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_john1 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I have he same problem. The trip mete works just fine. The Odometer seems to only to register about a 10th of the miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Cole Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Deliberate intent to defraud or mislead is to the best of my experience the crux of the matter regarding statutes. One could reset their odometer to zero every day so long as there was no intent to deceive or mislead, for example, a purchaser, tax agency, or insurance company. Otherwise it would be illegal for an individual to purchase a new speedometer and install it. That day is coming in certain blue states like CA.

Nosmo179 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I have a 1996 Dynasty and had my odometer die. I got a replacement from a salvage yard. It worked but it wasn't giving good readings... a real mile read as 1.3 or so. It took me a while to find out how easy it was to recalibrate it. Sorry, I don't have the steps in hand but it's an easy google search. Just note that the reading is not true whenever you give the odometer reading.

96 EVO Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Sure your not reading one of the trip odometers? Pretty sure mine has two trip odometers on the dash readout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_john1 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 In my 97 Dynasty the odometer and the trip meter are in the same interment. There is a button to switch between them. The trip works great, I have calibrated it a number of times. The odometer on the other hand is extremely lazy. Logs about 1/10th of the miles. Getting ready to head South, I will try and compare the readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
