As for a "reflash" of you new cluster to reflect miles, maybe. I know on Dodge products it could be done, but you needed a very "inside" connection to get it done. I'll put it this way, my brother had a neon (yes, I know neon) he leased it, went WAY over miles for the lease. His friend happened to be one of the people that designed the cars electronic brain. Well, one afternoon at his house and the car was under the limit. No I do not say using this miles adjustment is right, it is wrong, but does show that it should be able to be done. I do remember the guy that did the reflash saying the miles were kept in a few places in the brains of the car to see if anyone messes with it.

This may not work so well. North Ursalia did contact his dealer and everything was documented but he still got screwed when his tranny broke. They denied his warranty over the gauge cluster issue despite having it documented cause apparantly they lost the papers or something to that effect.

IIRC someone was trying to see if he can swap the current one into the new gauge cluster. I think he's still waiting for his gauge cluster to come in so it might be a while before anything useful turns up.
