So, I got a CR-V gauge cluster today, orange faced, and for anyone who has seen the thread, when I swapped gauges before, I swapped speedos to keep my odo mileage accurate. At this time, I won't swap speedos since I bought the orange faced one for a reason. I've looked, and found one thread on H-T that used to be a writeup, but then went back and deleted the pictures. So I've got words, every other thread I've come across had everything deleted. I understand why they would do this, you've got to keep the mileage accurate with the vehicle yada yada I get that so in these sort of instances, wouldn't be just as illegal to replace a cluster and not roll it back/forward to what the current mileage is?
I found this, which is why I say that.
49 U.S.C. § 32704 : US Code - Section 32704: Service, repair, and replacement
Under (a), it says may "service" an odometer as long as the miles registered remains the same as before the service repair or replacement. Replace cluster, service odometer, right?
Anyway, I'm just looking to point me in the right direction, I assume there's a reason I can't find anything here.
