its illegal to sell a vehicle where the odometer has been changed.

No, the mileage did not change at all. Is it stored elsewhere?

According to the 2001 service manual, it's stored in a number of places to help prevent odometer fraud.

If it doesn't have SKIM, there's no way to force a VIN change with a scan tool. The mileage in the PCM will have the donor miles on it, but I wouldn't worry about it.

Try it and see if it works, then get it reflashed after everything else works.

What caused it to fry? Might wasnt to make sure that is corrected before plugging another one in there!
Not every state has the ridiculous inspections that the south and the NE force down yall's throats.

The grey security key. You don't have it. I was speaking in general. Your VIN can't be changed.

If your abs lights aren't on, and everything works as it should, don't worry about it.
