Just a thief fancy asking how to break the law,plus when you go to sell the vehicle somebody going to buy a car with way more k`s on it than speedo saying tut tut tut.

yes it can be done the speed signal goes to the computer this canbe cut but it will causerunning problems and engine light on dashand fault codes from the computer it travels as data to the dash cluster you will need to remove the cluster and operate the board is very complex you will need special tools and fimble fingers.

I had a brief look at one a few weeks back looks like you would have to be an expert in electroncis and ics to be able to understand how it worked or have some board layout info

if its a manual without abs you could unplug sensor if it has abs would be trickier

Had a couple of holdens and a surf that the odo would stop registering if I zeroed the trip meter after reversing. Didn't always do it, but worth a shot.

Try driving it in reverse to reset the odometer.

If you can access the face of the digits; a firm thumb on the left digit and push hard, you can break off the lugs that stop the digit tumbling. That digit will never work again, but no one will ever know. (Knocks up to 100,000Km off the odometer!)

cutting the speed sense wire at the back of the cluster stops the speedo and odometer from working . but if u accelerate too hard with it disconnected the engine check light comes on . which causes a funny idle and a greatly increased fuel usage prob more than what the ruc cost , its a pain in the ass. im going to try a speedo correction kit and see how far it can be wound down . i have gps to show speed . wont be selling the truck
