I had a speedmeter with 165k on it I recently purchased a new speedometer with less miles. When I switched the speedometer it originally showed me the 103k the speedometer had but once powering on the vehicle it shot back upp to the 165k my question becomes how can I have the mileage adjusted back to the 103k?
