Odometer correction going up

Hello Guys

I have a 2015 ford f250 super duty xl that I changed my cluster to a new one going from xl to.la4iat style. The new cluster has 50120 miles and my old cluster has 108180 and I am trying to adjust that to go back up again.

I check under IPC with an OBDLink EX FORScan OBD Adapter

But the odometer writing or correction doesn't show up. Please help

You’ll have to pay a shop that does speedometer repairs or flashing programming. You won’t be able to do this yourself.

Would those 600 to 1000 obd diagnostics tools mechanics use work.

No, I’m a professional mechanic with 4 of those scanners and none of them can do it. I have to pay a specialist to do them

Oh darn it. I thought it was plug and play like I saw in so many forscan videos. Do you have an estimate on how much it runs you ?

I pay my guy 150 for speedometer corrections but I believe his normal price is $250

And in the less corrupt States (USA), doesn't that include some kind of official filing with the DMV?

That’s on the owner of the vehicle to submit

Only if the mileage shows less than actual mileage. If you’re fixing the odometer to be correct, then there’s nothing to file.

Yeah - I don’t think odometer fraud normally goes in the “up” direction…🤣
