Im working on my 99 camaro now and the new motor is going in soon I know the mileage is set in the cluster not the computer. Seeing if anyone knows how to reset it to 0. Or is there any places that anyones knows of that I can send it out to? I called chevy its 250.00 for a new cluster with 0 miles on it. Thats to much to spend on this.

I kno its illegal but I also know theres people and programs out there to do that. But if the title says exempt then its not illegal.

I learned how to do this many years ago, and it doesn't matter if the title says exempt. The mileage of the drivetrain and body go hand in hand. If you plan on selling the car in the future, keep all the receipts for all the engine and body work. I purchased a Dakota Digital Dash and transferred the actual mileage to the dash as I was proud that my 87 only has just a little over 24k miles on it. Even though it heavily modded, It is a matter of pride and if I ever do sell it, I can provide receipts.

Resetting the odometer is against the law. If your state does a yearly state inspection, They read the odometer which gets recorded through the DMV. It raises alot of red flags if all of a sudden the car has no milage or less than the previous year.

How do you fix an electronic odometer that has stopped working? I have seen posts for mechanical ones but not electronic. They look different on a Trans Am as compared to the Camaro.

Regarding re-setting speedo's, there's lots of tribal lore that is taken as
religious doctrine.

For employment, me & the resto project are currently in AZ.
My intention all along has been to get the speedo reset (TOTAL resto,
etc., etc.), & I needed to get some other instrument cluster service work.
What I found out is that legal restrictions are waived for vehicles older
than 10 years. And I'm pretty sure that was Federal, rather than local State.

So do your own research, particularly w/ respect to your individual state's
regulations.

Good luck.

Yea I found out its not illegal. Its only illegal if I try to pass it off as having low miles. But if I have the sticker in the door jam that states what mileage the car had when it got reset and I dont sell the car saying it has zero miles im good. I found a gut local that does it for 200 bucks
