Why not make it a quarter million present, sounds bigger and comes along 50K sooner. That's my plan (only 13K to go).

Most likely it wont roll to 4k. The older trucks for sure wont. The sister truck to my 95 is well into the 5k mark and every time it rolls from 399,999 it starts back at 3. Not a number 4 numeric in the spedo cluster on the far left i guess. So be weary guys that are looking at 300k mile trucks to purchase they could have 5 or 6 and you would never know it. I have heard rumor that the later clusters like 96 and 97 will roll to 4 and 5 but have never seen one
Thanks Travis

I need to find a cluster, and take a look at the programming on the chip. I'm sure there is a way to make it keep ticking. The numbers are there to do it.
