Can you turn a white tach cluster back miles?

[Nickb1907]

Looking at buying a white tach and it is about 10K miles to high. Can you just hook a drill to a speedo wire and spin it back to where i need it? Also could you spin it forward?

thanks

I believe if you search there is a how to on this.

i searched but that thing is almost useless and there is info on the orange cluster but not so much on the white

Someone may be willing to tell you a more step by step process via PM due to this being kind of a sketchy topic. Although it can be done legally I don't know just my thoughts.

Good Luck!

Ya as you see I posted in one, it says u have to melt the white face clusters wheel, I'm asking if u can use a drill to move it forward or back miles, hookng it to your speedo line

You can do that it works, but takes for ever i took it apart and spun it bake by hand faster just take the screws out of it and spin it by hand.

I'm not positive on this.... But, I believe if you are setting it to the actual mileage it is not illegal. Otherwise it is illegal.

But I'm not 100%

[92festie]

oh ok gotcha that makes sense

[hofficergrover]

Why would it be illegal? It's just milage.

Its mainly to protect you from fraud, like if you buy a car from a dealership and they turn it back to show less miles. Heres a link of the Law. http://www.justice.gov/civil/ocl/monograph/odom.htm

^^ Because if you are lowering the mileage to increase the resale value, that's fraud. Don't think that's what's going on here, but that is why rolling back an odometer may be illegal, depending on why you are doing it.

OK

just wanted to make sure spinning it back on the white face ones doesnt jam or break the Odometer since they made it more tamper proof. Im almost positive the orange one is fine doing this.

I did it with a white face and didn't break it.
