Odometer and the laws

[oldjohnny]

So, recently, I've been going back and forth questioning about swapping my gauge cluster with one that has a tachometer. I've read many different things, so I am leaning on switching it.

But my concern now is the legality about the odometer. Let's say I currently have 150K, and I swap it with one that has 125K, is this an illegal procedure? I always thought that a car/trucks odometer is obsolete after 100K, meaning that after 100K, you no longer have to keep up with the mileage of the car. I'm currently going back and forth with this dilema, so I need someone that has legal experience to guide me on this one.

My Odometer is about to go out (giving me the same symptoms as my last truck beofre it gave out), so I think I may need to swap it, does anyone know what is legal and what is not?

I do not have legal exp., but I think the odometer is only needed for legal purposes before 100k, (warranty issues) after that, the ford dealers dont care what your mileage is. Just my .02.

I was told that it's only illegal if you plan on selling the truck. If you don't, then it's your decision.

you need to put a sticker on either the door post or under the hood that shows the mileage your odometer had when it came out and the mileage on the odometer that went in, plus keep all your receipts showing the mileage that the used odometer had when you purchased it. Then you have to sell it as "Unknown Mileage"
