[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 16618638, member: 21786"] I agree with you that it doesn't add up given the distance, but just letting you know from my experience dealing with guages, specifically on GM vehicles which I have done more swaps on than any other brand. It's just how new cars are built now to prevent tampering, but like Junior00 stated below me, it can be adjusted with a scan tool. I don't doubt the ability to do it, but I am skeptical of how easy you say it is. We had both high end Snap-on and an Autel scanners and neither could do as you state because the manufacturers don't want just anyone to have that ability, they want the dealers to handle those issues because of legality. If you're using back-doors in the scanner then that is one thing and it goes beyond their normal function. GM SUVs have had known issues with their clusters so out of any brand I know the process on those the best. I also know that if you go in and start changing things like you are suggesting that you are opening yourself up for a world of pain, especially on newer cars with a dozen or more computers. I've done programming before and even with all the special manufacture software, it pretty much never goes off without a hitch. [/QUOTE]
