I just have a quick question about replacing the instrument cluster. Does the new cluster mileage become your new mileage? Or does it reset? How does that work?

Thanks in advance

If a new odometer can not be set or "flashed" to the car's true mileage, a sticker showing the mileage at which the odometer was replaced should be attached to the driver's side door post.

As far as I know, a new mechanical odometer for a 90-92 LS400 can not be set to the car's true mileage. New odometers for LS cars beginning with the 1993 model year can be "flashed" with the correct mileage but often a door jam sticker is used instead.

Failure of mechanical odometers on the 90-92 LS400 is common. The original odometer in the 90 LS I used to have failed at around 120,000 miles -- don't remember the exact mileage. The installer of the new odometer placed a sticker on the car's door jam showing the mileage at which the odometer was replaced. I think the sticker is required by either state or federal law.
