Getting odometer to 00000 the legal way.

This is the first time I've owned a vehicle when it has flipped back to zero. It's not pretty, but it gets the job done! I had my camera with me so I pulled over to take a couple pics.

Re: Getting odometer to 00000 the legal way.

It counts kilometers, so I guess it isn't quite as significant as it would be with miles. I don't know for sure but I think this would be the flip to 200k. It's definitely the most useful vehicle I've ever owned.

But with the current exchange rate it just might be more...

I have seen the one in my 84's odometer flip over twice. These trucks are great in support to your daily needs.

Re: Getting odometer to 00000 the legal way.

The Suburban I just gave life back to has 370K on it. All it needed was a little TLC. The previous owner drove it until it started dying in gear...

Re: Getting odometer to 00000 the legal way.

I was told that when the milage turns over 100,000 the counter never is perfect again and this is how you can tell the milage is true and has not been tampered with.

You be the judge ....

esll.
