Not that handy I fear. Not about ready to disassemble that cluster and run the risk of breaking it... :-) Thanks for the tip though...

I looked at that but haven't figured out how to do it. No data on it to be found anywhere, neither Chilton no rmy Ford service manual...

I don't know that I'd sweat 7K miles.

If you really wanted to run some mileage up, you could probably remove the vehicle speed sensor from the transmission and spin it using a rotary tool for a few hours/days with the key switched on. This would register speed and mileage and get you back to where you should be. It's some work, but you don't have to tear the dash back apart, nor figure out how to get the odometer apart.

I'm not really sweating it, but it's an inconvienence as I keep a mileage log for tax reasons. Not worth mucking with that sensor. Doing the gauge cluster removal is easy. 10 minutes work. If you can get the headlight switch off that is. :-) Done it about 3 times now...
