mfewtrail Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 For Cutties, sure. I posted this before once or twice in mileage related threads. That article was from 2002-2003 or so. I'd have to find the magazine it was in to say for sure though. Quote
Andrew Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 Editors note: The mileage covered by the vehicle in this story is extraordinary and may not be typical of all Pontiacs. whatever, pontiacs run forevar!! LOL cool finds guys. Quote
White93z34 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 I always thought those clusters displayed ERROR after 200k? Quote
ManicMechanic Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Posted October 20, 2007 I did too...But this one evidently didn't... Quote
boulevard Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 Are you sure it's not 35,873.9 miles? Sounds like alot! Must have been a cross country rental at some point. That's alot of miles. I wonder how many hours of driving that would of been? Quote
ManicMechanic Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Posted October 20, 2007 I believe the 10ths are in the trip odo... Quote
White93z34 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 Moreover I'm surprised as hell that that terrible cluster didn't break 150,000 miles ago. Quote

boulevard Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 I don't know. I don't think I ever stepped foot in a w-body cutlass before. Im huge for Luminas. Quote
ns87 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 My base digital gauge didnt have an :"8" imprint for the first number. It could physically only display a 1 Quote
ManicMechanic Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Posted October 20, 2007 Probably some differences between 1988-91 and 1992-93 clusters. Quote
GP1138 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 If you look closely to the left of the first "3" you can see the outline on the LCD of a "1". Perhaps they added the "9" at the end in Photoshop? Quote

GP1138 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 I've never heard of a cluster that could go to a million miles. That's the reason I'd be skeptical. Quote
Crazy K Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 I'm not familar with the basic digi cluster. who wants one? LOL I imagine that really says 35,000.0 miles. we nees someone with that cluster to answer! Quote
GP1138 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 Looks like they copied the "3" and added a line to make it a "9". Quote

I wonder how many hours of driving that would of been? Cutlasses don't have tenths on the odometer. Incorrect yes they do. Mine has tenths. This is from my 1991 Cutlass Supreme. Quote
3.1cutlass Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 Maybe the Dot burned out Thats what i am thinking happened. Quote
Brian P Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 I'm gonna go out on a limb here The part of the PRNDL indicator looks like the smaller font that was used in '92-93. That cluster was available thru 1993 on the very base models. I get the feeling GM changed that odometer in '92 so it can read over 199999 miles. Quote

The one in the original post looks like the dot is just burnt out though. Quote

3.1cutlass Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 I doubt it because if you look closely you can see the spacing of mine between the last 2 numbers and the spacing of the last to numbers of the original look the same. I think the dot is just burnt out. Quote
