Default Changing Odometer After a Gauge Cluster Swap

I have searched and could only find it for pre-97 Cherokees.

I want to get rid of my damn idiot lights and get some real gauges. But how can i set the odometer to the correct miles? It's a 2000 XJ if it helps any.

Thanks,
Jon

You could probably add miles, but I don't think you can take them off. Best bet is to find a cluster with miles close to what you have

there is no need for sensors. plug and play... cluster-swap-write-up

as far as the odometer reset i don't think anyone can but the dealer, and for the most part they have to be sent out to the gauge manufacturer....
