The fuel and oil pressure gauges on my gauge cluster has not been working for months. I decided to get a newer replacement (a 99 GSX) but it has higher mileage (150K). I also have one from a 98 GS-T but Im just to lazy to dig it from storage, which has 77K when it was taken off.

I dont care about the oil gauge, I have one in my pod but the gas gauge will be good to have back. For months I just refuel at 180 miles on the dot.

Is there a place locally that can reprogram/adjust my new cluster legally? My car is a 98 GSX with just over 70K miles.

Usually you need to maintain the original odometer reading. When getting a new unit, general SOP is to get a small plate made at a trophy-maker listing the original mileage and the revised mileage on the new odometer (if it's not a new one at 0). Then rivet it to the car, near the new odometer.

Alternately, you could try winding back the new odometer to match the old one. I don't think there's any legality issue with that, given that you're just matching it to the proper mileage for the car it'll be going into.

Before you do that though, have you checked to make sure the wires are getting signal at all? It could just be a harness or sensor problem, in which case swapping the cluster won't do anything for you.

Chris just dig up your other gauge cluster with the correct mileage... why waste the time trying to get it changed?

With 2g gauge clusters if you pop the glass off you can just move the numbers to whatever you want... we had a 2gnt gauge cluster at school and we changed the mileage to like 400 thousand just by moving the numbers.

Try Dick's Speedo and Tach. They have a location near downtown Phoenix, and I think one in Mesa somewhere. I've used them several times for calibration and repair, and I'm pretty sure they have the capability to do damn near anything (legal) that you need.

! that easy huh??? might it be possible to just change that gauge from the other cluster to the cluster needed without it messing up???
