On my '01 GC, the mileage is adjustable at VIC. Do you know how to reset it?

reset your overhead console or the trip meter on the cluster. I usually use the trip meter on the cluster for MPG calculations, and the overhead console to keep track of oil change intervals

I googled this.


To reset the service indicator on a 94 Grand Cherokee, turn the key on, press the "Select" button once, then press & hold the "Set" button for 2 seconds, when the display changes from 0 miles to serivice to 7500 miles to service you are done. Turn the key off to save the changes.

Wayfast, thank you for your service. My father inlaw was in Da-Nang from 67-68. He told me that 68 was possibly the worst year for Americans there. The ***** was really heavy at that time.

Fortunately or Unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, I have not been into Iraq or Afghanistan. I have been to Kuwait and Kyrgystan, 3 times each. I am a Traffic Management Coordinator. I am a Fed-Ex dude in a uniform. Instead of shipping boxes here or there, my job is to project and ship US combat power to anywhere in the world. That includes Armor, Ammo, Support Equipment and Personnel. I have to coordinate all customs clearances for every country our gear transits. So Technically, my job is not to be where the fight is, my job is get the warfighter what he needs before he needs it and by whatever means is available.
