mileage question

[RideThePony2004]

I am going to change my dash and gauges with the dash and gauges from a mustang with 40k miles. the mustang that its going on has 140k...will the mileage stay with the cluster? will i run into any problems when I register it?

Thank you.

i just found out from another thread on another forum that the mileage will be that from the donor car....my next question will be...if i tell the dmv what I did...will they give me problems for it? Or as long as I tell them I should be ok?

and I want to mention that one is an auto computer and the other a manual computer. How will I get the ecu from the donor to have the vin # of the one that I am putting into?

Don't tell DMV anything. You can have the cluster reprogrammed tho to match. If mileage is "unknown" they go back to last documented mileage from inspection and add estimated mileage for how long it's been since then. Unless you have old cluster in there to show them and they put new one in.

If the mileage reads less next time u get the car inspected the inspector will note the mileage in the computer which notifies the DMV. On the carfax report of the car (and possibly title, I don't recall) there will be "Odometer Rollback" which never helps if you decide to sell the car later.

I recommend looking into what Criscone said.

I've done it two ways. One is going to dealer, and second is an online company however not sure of they do fords. Pretty sure it's VW only but when I find the link I'll post it up.

Btw where is the closest dealership to you? Just wondering because Miracle Ford is no more

Mike, I called Healey Ford in Goshen and they said they can do it and it will take up to 2 hrs....$150-$200 they said and I need both keys and the car.
