And it still keeps rolling along.

My 86 cougar just cleared 200k and is registered for another year. I was hoping the aod would have eaten it by now so i could swap the t-5 this winter. Oh well.

You want it to happen so it will. It'll just wait till March d February and a foot of snow is everywhere.

I actually have a garage i can use now, so it wouldn't kill me. It will give me time to source and swap a tailshaft housing so i can convert the oss sensor back to a vss and have an accurate speedo.

I lied. I did the English to metric conversion trick just for fun. My cougar actually has 302,000 miles right now.

Yeah, that's right, after 199K they loop back to 100K in English. but they don't in Metric?

You take your odometer reading and multiply it by 1.6.

202000x1.6 = blank. If your second and third digits equal your metric odometer reading, then you have correctly identified your actual mileage.This is a trick i learned in thundercats website when i was googling stereo diagrams before i knew about coolcats or this forum.
