Odometer tampering is a federal crime, it's considered fraud if you lie about the mileage to a future buyer...If you tamper with the mileage but disclose the true mileage to the buyer the car is worth less due to the title having to be listed as not actual miles. Don't bother doing it, because your just asking for trouble...The computer in the cars nowadays keeps it's own separate odometer reading that can be read with a scantool and even if you could stop that, the computer will log inconsistencies that a mechanic can see as odometer tampering. Best advice drive less or stop thinking of ways to rip people off.

lol, sounds like you have been ripped off a few times. I have done this to all of my 14 vehicles. I know there is a wire you can splice into to stop it. anyone have an idea?

[Talana]

i know thats why i didn't know why he was really asking someone how to do that that was dumb

[Talana]

no i haven't been ripped off that was just dumb to ask about a speedometer thats totally illegal

[adamam]

I dont care if its illegal. Have you ever littered, or gone over the speed limit? they are illegal too.

I don't care what you do and sorry to say I've never bought a car from you so I've never fallen victim but you may cut your wire but the computer tells the truth...You don't care if it's illegal but maybe you should care if you put yourself in a position to get caught (ie telling people that you committed odometer tampering and fraud)...Either way this forum isn't a place to discuss how to do illegal things. Where do you get the assumption that everyone litters or drives over the speed limit? It is entirely possible to not litter and/or speed, you say it like you and everyone else is forced into it. Want your how to, stop driving your car that'll stop the odometer guaranteed while your at it grow up. Stupid childish ways of being petty with the mileage you put on your car.

I agree. If you are that concerned about putting miles on your car buy a second or third car and rotate through them, that should keep the mileage down and keep you out of federal jail...

Just stopped in to see what condition this condition was in. You folks pretty much said what I decided not to post.

[adamam]

Well that was amazing, you must be an older fellow.

That wrong to lie to people about something so stupid like the mileage on a car maybe someone who has bought a car from him might read this and he will be sorry. Damn rip off people i cant stand them.

when I replaced my instument panel the new one 30,000 less on it. It could work the other way too and have more miles. How would you know if someone pulled this trick on you?
