The dealer's answer was simple... "I have no idea." was his exact response. I should also clarify that 'used dealer' might misrepresent the place where he purchased this Tahoe. It was more like a 'corner car-lot.' I don't assume anything shady happened at the hands of the lot and I doubt they posses the equipment required to reprogram, update, modify or mate something like the IPC. Engine Hours show 4101.0. Does that appear to match up with either of the mileage readings? Thanks for the reply, Wes.

holy shit 4,100 hours which is the idle counter they must have been living in the car for the heater or A/C

my grandpa had a truck it only had 1100 hours @ 108k miles no he did not drive it 100PH


it's pretty clear the odometer has been rolled back it's not very hard to do with a tech2 and only takes a few min to add thousands in value

it happens a lot

here is a pretty crocked dealer they said it has 81,504 miles
it was rolled back from 205,832 miles


according to the original auction site it was sold at
for $3,650

and with a tech2 they rolled it back to
to 81,504 https://web.archive.org/web/2019021...tahoe-ls-suv-17d0df80d4084855aae64a50ef122378


they both have damage in the passenger rear corner so it's more then likely the same one
both have the rare two tone interior as well..]
so more then likely they rolled it back

Not an idle counter. If the engines running, that things counting. There's an entire thread dedicated to posting your numbers. Like I said before, 4100 w/ 126000 is pretty average.

lol, the hours are pretty spot on, mine as others have stated also are on par 4k hours and 100k+ miles, that's why I asked what the hours were. And unless the thing was never serviced for 50k+ miles then there is nothing to worry about, reset the trip miles and see what she does

please enlighten us on how a tech2 changes the mileage, specific procedure...?
or are you just assuming? I think the case above is more likely they made a mistake in the vehicle listing, pretty unlikely a vehicle went 200k+ plus miles without a mileage service reported.

Because from what i am gathering a tech2 can only program a new cluster and any other programming requires special harness (specific to years with same interface) and a special programmer which is what the spedoo shops use i am sure and the stuff isn't cheap

Interesting. Is there a photo of the IPC/DIC showing the odo rolled back?

it's not very hard to pull the micro chip (eprom or aka flash) and reprogram it off the cluster it only takes 10mins to desolder it and solder it back on(plus reinstall of the other stuff)

with eprom reader , Serial cable and a hex editor
is all you need to change the miles on pretty much any car....

or swap out the cluster


i'll confirm the mileage today.. but on another car that shows "inconsistency" . since an bunch of their listings SHOW
inconsistent milages




an another example is this BMW
Reports an actual 104,656
sold 8500

$20,995
now has 66,107 miles Pretty amazining how the miles just went down

right, the point was you said with a tech2 which is why I questioned it, if these guys are changing miles there not going to be around long
