Dirty Rockstar Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 What makes the odometer tampering switch go off.. I want to take apart my cluster to have a look but I don't want it to screw me. You the digi dahs? or digi odo at least? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 how awesome would this look? i took the comsole pic from gearhead and the dis from gutless.. that's how I pictured it. maybe not taking up the whole thing, maybe with a cubby or some other switches to the side of it. would look badass up the roof angled down toward you though.

Dirty Rockstar Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 As long as you dont mess with the odo, you should be fine.. I rolled the odo in my 6k, and it functions as it should.. If youre afraid, leave the odo in its space and just pull the guage face off.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 the console does look great. BTW, speaking of odo's, i have to rollback the odo in the new cluster from 136k to 131k which will match whats in the car... how is that done/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the new one read 179k or something, then yea.. but 131 vs 136 isn't that big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unplug the harness that goes from the stepper motor to the cluster. Remove the motor and spin the tenths digit back by hand. This method is tedious, but since you only have to go back 5k, it shouldn't be so bad. When I changed clusters in my old 85 Grand Am, I had to roll the odometer in the new cluster forward from 107k to 152k! What I did for that one was get a small 9 Volt "erector" motor and put a plastic gear on it and taped it to the odometer frame. Once I got the motor spinning, it rolled the odometer forward no problemo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rockstar Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Hey, Disco.. Check THIS out.. I swapped to a full gauge cluster in my 6000.. Had 113k on it.. My 6k had 256,xxx on it.. I had to roll that fucker for DAYS.. lmao.. I couldnt just drop the old one in because they were different! But as for rolling, if the screws wont budge from the motor, try this: THere it a REALLY small cotter pin on the bar.. Pull that, and one of the gears should come off.. THen, the unit should roll easily.. lol.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
