Datastar Odometer / Speedometer

I'd also like to hear some ideas. We have two trucks that will be approaching this issue soon enough.

I know someone who I think just uses their gps but I'd like more of a permanent fix especially with drivers in them.

 

Doesn't this roll over to zero once you hit a million miles? Or am I missing something?

 

The datastar just stops reading at 999,999. I just switched over to one of the trip meters in the datastar. It works for now but a better system sure would be nice!!

Thanks Bill, I understand what the problem is now, I have another question - is this just the dash unit or is it also the speedo?

 

The real fix is to get a shop to just reset your ECM to 0. The DataStar just reads off the ECM.

 

The ones that have an odometer in the speedo do flip over and start at 000000

 

You're right. The trucks with both odo speedos and datastars start back at zero after 999,999 but data star only trucks do not. Seems to be kinda backwards to me lol.

You can't take the mileage off the ecm. Only way to do that is to "wash" it which means your starting off with a blank ecm with nothing. Some ecms don't even have that capability. I'd like to know if a odo speedo can be put on these and work easily. I do have a spare truck with one.... May just have to try it sometime soon.

Anyone know what the speedos with the odo for the multiplex systems are worth?
