A dumb question

[caddy]

I have a dumb question, If I replace my Instrument cluster, gauges, odometer, speedometer...etc, what happens to the Mileage on the Odometer??
just curious

I just replaced my whole dash cluster about a month ago. Now I don't know about your year Vette, but it was easy on mine.....snaps out and in ....easy....The dash came without the miles installed.....

The odometer is easilly changed if you are using the same setup...if you change the odometer your state most likely has an odometer disclosure statement you can complete.

I have another question, and I'm not trying to be dishonest, but can you just go out and buy a new (no mileage) odometer and just snap it in????

 

[JonM]

Yes...but that is where the "odometer disclosure statement" to DMV comes into play if you ever sell it.

The mileage is programmed into the CCM, not the instrument panel. The digital readout is generated from the CCM. If the CCM is replaced, it is supposed to be reprogrammed with the correct mileage; if it isn't, a sticker must be affixed to the driver's door jamb stating that the mileage shown is not correct.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but what are you talking about????????

My mistake...your Corvette has an electronic ODO...Read Georges answer...But if you do not reprogram...you will have to tell DMV when you sell it.

CCM holds mileage info for newer dash (90 up) so if you change the dash the mileage stored in teh CCM shows on the new trip!

On 84-89 digital dash the odometer is contained in the dash.
