Default Gauge Cluster Programming

I just ordered a used cluster for my 05 dodge ram 1500. I was wondering if I was to wire it up to bench test it, if there was a way to send power to somthing in the back that would tic ip the mileage? If so what would it be? I ordered a cluster with less mileage than my current truck and I'd like it to read close to it. I don't care about getting the vin programed into it and I really don't want to send it off to be programed. I just wanted to know if there was a way to trick the cluster into adding more miles onto it.

There is likely a way to do it, however, it is unlikely that method would be available to anyone but a dealer, or whomever they send their clusters out to for programming. Too much potential for folks to spoof mileage.... This has been a thing since the 90's, when GM was using digital clusters in some vehicles.
