Re: tampering with the odometer

[XYOBGYN@xxxxxxx]

If you didn't mind running without the speedometer as well as the odometer, 
simply unplugging the plug that goes into the back of the differential stops 
feeding the cluster and both meters.

I'd imagine that there is a way to modify the cluster itself, by breaking 
some solder leads and soldering new wires into the circuit that would even 
let you turn on and off the feed to just the odometer, but I think that would 
be more work than its worth.

Wiring a switch to the leads that go to the diff would be easier, and I 
suppose someone with a lease, and therefore incentive to lie, cheat, and 
break the law (which I'm not advocating for the record) might go to these 
lengths.  

Check the wear on the brake, gas and clutch pedal for indications as to 
mileage, that might tip you off as well.  Safest of all, is probably a 
compression and leakdown test, the latter being slightly more informative I'm 
told.
