Mitsubishi/Dodge content (kill me if you must): I recently swapped the base model cluster in my truck for a sport cluster(tach, oil pressure, voltage, etc gauges) and the sport cluster has ~ 2K miles less on the odometer than the old base one.
Normally I'd just write down the difference, shove it in the glovebox, and get on with life. The issue is, the truck hasn't been on the road since I bought it, and I'd rather not have any odometer fraud allegations when I do go to put it on the road. Should I just roll the new cluster forward with the tried and true power drill? Mercedes content: I'm going to start shoe-horning my 617 into what will hopefully be it's final resting place sometime after labor day weekend. I bought a V6 Ram50 pickup with a dead engine that's getting delivered sometime around the 5th. It's a TX truck so it has no rust to speak of. I'm hoping it'll be easier now that I've done the swap a total of 2 different times, even though the first time was with the 616. In a continuation of the odometer issues above,what do I do odometer-wise with it? I know the 617 has 106K on the motor, and I forget what the truck has on it. I'm not sure what to do if the truck has less than the 617 has on it though. Should I just find the difference between them and remember to do the major engine maintenance based on odometer reading plus the difference? I never plan on selling this thing once it's finished, so I'm tempted to just roll it forward if it's less and be done with it, but that might make the DMV wonder if it gets a few K miles put on it between when it was sold and when I register it. Anyone been there, done that?
