Default Cheating on the milages

Just changed most of the hardware on my -90 L98 (engine, gearbox, most of the chassis) and i'm not too happy with the milage shown on the gauge.
Do anyone have a clue how to change the reading on the gauge :nono:
Most of the car is brand new but the gauge tells a different story..
Thank's guys..... :boxing

He's in Finland.. no big deal.. How to roll something back..hmmm, it's a secret! I saw this in a technical movie. It was FBDO. Remember that one? They show you how to jack up a car and roll the miles off of it... Ssssshhhhhh, don't tell anyone! And if you export the car back to the U.S., we got your number!

I know that it is not a nice thing to do but the car is not the same anymore. But I got the point :mad
Guess I just have to renew that cluster as well as I already did with the rest of the car.
Oh by the way, it's, or better, used to be a -90 and over here there are no laws against it as long as you can certify that a certain percentige of the vehicle has been rebuilt.
Thanks anyway :lol:
