How many of you have successfully attempted to roll back oedometer? Does this technique work?

pls die

fucking nigger

Slightly related, but i have a 98 crown vic and i just got a new gauge cluster out of a junk yard car, how do i roll the odometer forward so that it has the same milage as the old one?

>How many of you have successfully attempted to roll back oedometer?
Rather than rollback, in older cars, people disconnect the sensor. In new cars, that method doesn't work because the computer flags odometer error.

>hi Veeky Forums how many of you are fucking worse than niggers?

litterally take the old plastic gear out of the cluster and spin it., if its digital you're screwed. and if you are actually lying and want to sell a car with the wrong odometer, hang yourself before I do it for you.

What's worse than a nigger?

>rolled back 40K from odometer
>i don't feel guilty about it.
You got to do what you go to do in order to get ahead in life. No one else will do it for you. While not perfectly admirable, at least you showed initiative in getting the job done.

oh look another reason to not buy a used car.

>What's worse than a nigger?
SJW using their "get more funding" logic. In order to justify more funding for their pet programs, they try to spread the problems evenly across all the cities and communities in a region instead of concentrating the problems in one spot.

The final goal is to have all the communities scream for help. They hope at that point the state will actually make a budget line item as a permanent entitlement for funding.

>successfully attempted
Nice attempt, too bad it failed.

If you have a scan tool you can check the engine miles which would give you a good indication if you rolled back the odometer

You roll it forward to be honest or go to the dmv and check the box on the title that says the mileage exceeded the mecanical limitations/cluster swap. This values your car as if it has 999,999 miles sine you can no longer say its accurate.

I had to do it for my motorcycle because mechanical speedometers are shit and they tear themselves apart from the inside due to normal wear.

Youre a goddam nigger and even GM trash deserves better treatment than that

My 2004 Aprilia rsv1000 would reset the odometer if you disconnected the battery for more than 10 mins. Brilliant design.

Yeah because I put a newer dashboard and seats in my truck, 268k miles to 112k in about a weekend. Wouldn’t try to pass it off as legit though, because I’m not a nigger.

Most mileage is stored in the dash cluster. Buy a new cluster from a lower mileage junker or off fleabay.

As long as you didn't do anything major to the car that would show up on carfax, you'll get away free.

That’d be pretty retarded considering that i’m adding miles to the odometer

>Most mileage is stored in the dash cluster.
In my digital car, it is stored in the computer. The computer then displays the mileage on the LED screen. As for the person that said the sensor could be disabled, it is inside the transaxle case. It is a non-trivial task to make it not give info.

Without correct transaxle rotation from that sensor, my car would turn off the automated traction control feature. That is pretty sucky driving. That's what happens when the computer no longer trusts the data it is getting from sensors. While not anywhere as bad as the infamous "limp home mode" when the computer has determined the car is in emergency damaged state and must conserve what remains of parts endurance, it is still sucky since I have become quite accustomed to having traction control in daily driving.

Because it is a non-trivial task to change the transaxle sensor back, it means a lot of planning taking the car in to a repair shop. Does that mean someone skimps on maintenance if they are the type to disable this sensor? If they don't themselves wrench a lot, then the answer is yes. Of course, the car can never be taken to a dealer because the computer has set the odometer error flag.

While it is a technicality, my state says cars without properly working odometer cannot be driven or sold. I don't know if that means the dealer seize your car until you repaired the odometer problem or if the dealer allowed you to drive off knowing your odometer is faulty. That goes for other service centers as well.

I roll back 50k miles on almost every car I buy
I keep them in good shape and drive them correctly
I don't give a fuck

>it is inside the transaxle case
The wire with that data has to come out sooner or later. Build a harness splice with toggle switch. That way the harness can be removed before taking it in to a shop. No evidence of any mod that way.

>I roll back 50k miles on almost every car I buy
>I keep them in good shape and drive them correctly
It reminds me of the Orange Julius food stand. The teenage girl dropped a bun on the floor, then picked it up and brushed it off before using it. No visible dirt on it so the bun was in good shape and handled correctly.
She didn't give a fuck.

Yeah pretty much

>How many of you have successfully attempted to roll back oedometer?
But odometer data is stored in multiple locations in my car. The computer chip has one number and the display can have a different number. That's on my "old" car. My newest car only has digital displays, so it obviously gets all the data from the main computer.

How does one reset the main computer without bricking the car? If the computer is ruined, it is pretty costly to get another one.

what's wrong with rolling back an odometer?
I don't really care what the dmv says but it makes sense if you're swapping an engine or something.
so what's with the blatant bootlicking?

Suppose I've replaced the engine in my car, either because it failed or I wanted a better one. Do I have to take my car someplace to have the mileage 'officially" adjusted?

>Nigger hands messing with oedometer
It's like poetry

>what's wrong with rolling back an odometer?
Your viewpoint in demanding reasons is wrong. You should be offering reasons why odometers should be rolled back along with implementable methods to verify the truth.

Your viewpoint is like those law breakers who get caught burgling a house. And yes, there can be plenty of positive reasons to justify burgling a house as proven by Black Lives Matter activists debunking each arrest on a case by case basis. Heck, the law breaker should be awarded a medal of honor instead of being arrested.

Sure, the odometer fraudsters don't care. They believe in scamming because a crime is okay as long as you can get away with it. That's very BLM activist too because BLM is often on the side of justifying all the crimes that go on.

My viewpoint is simple. I took care of my car so well, in ways that no normal person would, and I've accumulated tons of highway-only miles in one year, that do not really reflect the wear and tear an engine would have if it had racked up the same miles over the course of 5-6 years of city driving and congestion. Explaining this to potential buyers is a lost cause, they'll only focus on the number no matter what you tell them, they'll think you'll lying to make the sale, even though they see the pristine condition of the interior/exterior and the engine.

>My viewpoint is simple

>You got to do what you go to do in order to get ahead in life

In one documentary about black carjackers in the USA, it was clear that all the carjackers had good reasons for making money. Their actions were fully justified in their viewpoint. One of the nicest comments was how the group of carjackers had sympathy for the car owner in that they didn't shoot the person as long as they didn't resist or have bystanders come to their aid. The carjackers firmly asserted they had the right to self-defense.

Nice strawman

you've still then fucked up the service intervals for the next guy. For instance, he'll think the timing belt only has 60k on it and is doing fine when in fact it has 110k and is on the verge of breaking.

This is related to my next point: cars wear at about the same rate as long as you're doing the required maintenence. Doesnt matter how well you did them or diligently, changing oil every 3k miles instead of 5k, the car is not in any better shape than the guy who only services the car when the dealer emails him.

Last year, my area had a 13-year old car thief. Hooray for equal opportunity and the lack of age discrimination. Let's have all ages do it because we are non-discriminatory.

.

"Working" is a book by Studs Terkel which investigates the meaning of work for different people under different circumstances. The narrative moves through mundane details, emotional truths, and existential questioning. It was part of an essay assignment in my high school freshman english class (college prep track). I've wondered what interviews with car thieves and car jackers would be like. A lot of criminologists have interviewed and formed observations but those aren't available to the general public. But researchers and journalists have interviewed and published those as reports in journals or in documentary videos.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_(book)

One of the common reasons given by convicts is that they were forced to do it because of the lack of jobs. However, many criminals begin chronic crime long before they are of working age which contradicts that excuse. One cannot be employed as a car mechanic, store clerk, or engineer at the age of 10.

So, if Studs Terkel were to interview a car jacker, would the resulting article have key statements such as "I was forced to regularly shoplift at the age of 8 due to the lack of living wage jobs. They wouldn't let me be a neuro-surgeon making a living wage at the age of 8. So fuck it and fuck society. I'm gonna steal cars and get the money owed me."

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of Veeky Forums are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

OP doesn't describe how well he took care of the car and of its maintenance. The way he says it seems too suspicious. Changing oil at the maximum recommended maintenance point would disqualify his claim.

Of course it's a pajeet.

>I took good care of the car so i don't feel guilty about it.
Since you drove it for Uber as a private-owned taxicab, you could _not_ have driven it too carefully. Your passengers do not like hypermiling or ultra-gentle accelerations. They want to get from point A to point B fast and cheap.

>Look up reg number
>Annual car inspection shows the exact distance the car has done, logged ever year since it was made
Non-retards don't fall for third-world scams.

>Annual car inspection
He could roll back the odometer 50% or more each year before the inspection. That Cruze 2014 dash of his must be loose or squeaky after having been opened up and replaced so many times though. He's ruined the future for that dash despite his claims of taking care of the car far better than any normal person could.

Your nigger ass.

Have the dealer scan the computer for the mileage that computer thinks it accumulated while in drive/reverse with RPMs appearing. That would be separate from the odometer cluster mileage data. If there is a discrepancy, the dealer is obligated by state law to report it. At that point, the scammer is out, but unfortunately, so are you for the examination fee.

I'm proud of my odometer desu. If anything I'd wind it forward

my dad did this on all his cars
havent seen him in years
[spoiler]im white[/spoiler]

Whats the name of the documentary?

>bought a car like a dumbass for Uber, turned out I made less money than I expected
Uber doesn't randomly assign clients to its taxicabs. If the profile of the client is higher end, they will be assigned to higher end autos with appropriate drivers to match and give the client a favorable Uber Experience.

In my Yuro shithole you can bring your instrument cluster to any shop that specialises in automotive electronic repair, give them anywhere from 50 to 100 euro dollars and have them set whatever mileage you want.

My old boss used to do it all the time to roll back odos that were just above 100k to 90-something on the used cars we sold.
It also helps the fact that there isn't a single database anywhere that stores mileages when cars enter a shop for maintenance or insurance claims, so it's pretty much untraceable unless you are so stupid to roll back to less than the last recorded mileage on the maintenance booklet.

The only cars where it's not that easy to do are the ones that store vehicle information somewhere other than the instrument cluster, like electronic keys or body control modules, but it usually just requires more expensive softwares to do, it's far from impossible.

I remember a few years back a Volvo dealership was caught rolling back 300k km (yes, three hundred thousands kilometers) because they forgot to roll back the mileage from the key, I can't remember what car it was tho.

>In one documentary about black carjackers in the USA
>Whats the name of the documentary?

The 2016 documentary series is "Black Market" with Michael K. Williams as narrative host. The individual episode is New Jersey Drive. I found several but the one I got was "New Jersey Drive BLACK MARKET with Michael K. Williams" from youtube. It's not hard-hitting since the host obviously wants to present blacks in a less sensational light, but it does have enough documentary style to show what is going on as well as problems that occur.

It's one of those longer documentaries made to fit into a hour time slot of normal cable TV. So you can find 49 minute longer versions and 24 minute versions edited to fit on standard network TV half-hour time slots.

Example video with links to full version:

Try googling the following:
youtube New Jersey Drive BLACK MARKET with Michael K. Williams

Hmm, I'm watching the video. There's quite a bit of commentary by a former carjacker on how they acquire targets and how they start the jacking. Jack teams have 3 members: Eyes, Stealer, Driver. No one gets caught because all bros look out for each other; shoot the mofo that fights back or tries to get you caught.
