Don't worry about it. Look it over good, and buy one.

I've heard that some people only type every other letter in a word so that the keystroke count shows to be artificially low when they go to resell their computer.

You can fool the odometer, but you won't fool the ECM by pulling the fuse.

The ECM keeps racking up the miles. If you think there is odometer fraud, bring it to the dealer and hook it up to the StarScan or DRBIII and it'll show the miles in the ECM.

The only thing that pulling the fuse does is makes the instrument panel not work, and a few other things.

There is no cheating the real miles. Even if you change the instrument cluster, the ECM does not lie...

racer9 and saltsman are idiots "dont worry about it" and something about a computer resell, how retarded. i understand that the ecm doesnt lie, but that wasnt the question. i dont want 2 buy a truck that shows 30k when it might really have 130k. i know this can be done by pulling a fuse in the fuse box on the 5.9l. Can it also be done on the 6.7l? if so how? so i now what 2 look 4 when i find a used 6.7l. Buying new might be the safest way 2 go...

I think you're funny, not retarded!

Even if you pull the fuse, as soon as it is put back in, the miles will show up. I do not know of a way to make this happen on a 6.7.

I drive in reverse every now and then to get my miles lower.
