i bought a 2001 chevy z71 with 75000 miles, i think the odometer was replaced or rolled back since there is a lot of wear on the truck to be 75000 miles, can any one run the vin, i guess some people have unlimited free vin checks. 1GCEK19T61E128458, THANKS

Re: vin check
title say 64000 in 2009, i was told that u can replace the cluster and whatever the used cluster had on the old car. it will display those miles, is a scam to sale it with a better price

Re: vin check
I don't think that's true anymore. The speedometer log is stored in the computer now. I've known a few that replaced their cluster and the mileage remained unchanged.
What kind of wear are you seeing? Where did the truck come from? Maybe it was a work type truck and got used harder than normal.....

Re: vin check
i feel better now, just water pump is about to go and a powers stearing leaking, seat torn. just sounded too good to be true. i paid 6800 is ext cab 4x4, new rims and oversize tires, he said that didnt drive it for a year because a DUI, but maybe is just normal wear. even if miles were higher truck runs real good.

Re: vin check
sounds like it just had a lot more short trips vs. long ones. I have 101k on my 04' and my seats are in great shape still. If yours are worn, probably just a lot of in and out.
Keep your eye on fuel pump too and don't be surprised if it goes out..... just the way it is for these trucks.

Re: vin check
the mileage is store in the cluster on these trucks when i order replacement clusters For these trucks i have to provide the Vin and the mileage so it can be programed into the new cluster, then when i install the clusters i have to sign an affidavit saying that i did not provide the wrong mileage or change it when i ordered the new clusters
