I hope nobody on this site helps you with that. None of us want to be the victim when he (you) sells his ragged out but "low mileage" truck.

You drive a truck a lot, its value goes down. It's a fact of life. He/you should live with it and not be some CROOK.

never thought of that? why else would someone want to disconnect the odometer other than to make the truck appear low mileage when it isn't?

Simply put - you can't.

The odometer is integrated into the computer that controls the powertrain.
