so i was on the expressway yesterday and for some reason my odometer and tripometer dont match up. for every 1.6 or so miles on the trip it goes 1 mile on the odometer. everythin about my car that i know of and the person i bought it from is stock except for an exhaust and intake which have no effect on that. my guess is i could have gears in there or something but what kind would they be?

Re: problem with mileage
if the trip odometer was reset at an uneven milage, than it won't roll miles at the same time IE if I reset the trip odometer to 0.0 while the odometer reads 12,004.25
then the odometer will read .25 miles differnce

get it?

My trip odometer doesn't work. It used to go up to 9 miles and stop, now it just sits at 0.

Maybe doublecheck your RPM/MPH against the calculator at www.f-body.org/gears/ ????
