Odometer Correction (Installed new cluster)

Odometer Correction (Installed new cluster) **SOLVED**

So I recently installed a new cluster to fix my inaccurate tachometer and temperature gage. Everything is working as it should. It is a 2001 Ram 1500 with the digital odometer. I've been told that the mileage is stored on a chip on the circuit board. Does anybody know which chip it is? Pictures would be appreciated (I will upload a pic of my old circuit board this evening). I can solder a circuit board and want to swap the chips so my mileage matches. My new cluster reads 53k and my existing cluster was 118k... you can see how this might be a problem. Thanks.

Interesting to find out how this works, I would just let it ride with the 50k and keep it a secret.

Its the one circled in red.

93C46 EEPROM 8 pin chip. Unsolder and solder onto new board.

So when you did that and had it all put back together did the mileage go back to what it was?

Sorry for the late response... Yes. Everything is working as it should now. Correct mileage and tach and everything. Its no easy task as you have to remove the circuit board from the cluster, which is a pain.

Just had the dealer adjust my pinion factor and now the speedometer is accurate with the oversize tires.

Really? A dodge dealership around here told me they couldn't change the speedometer for my bigger tires.

I gave them that guide and magically it worked. The first time I went in they said they couldn't do it (but they had their best tech say it couldn't be done haha) You have to calculate the revs per mile... It's all in that guide.
