RE: Tripmeter
That's correct, however, it matched # per # up to 999, then the 3 digits, and the 10th matched, all of a sudden it reset on it's own.
Just an **** thing with me I guess.
When I picked it up, it said 00001.3 on both.
Now........ here's a good question the odometer only shows 5 digits before the decimal point. Does this mean after 99999.9, it rolls back to zero like the old cars did ?

RE: Tripmeter
The stang is not here right now so I can't check if there is room for an extra digit, but usually digital meters will not show the 100k figure until you get to it. It could roll back to 0 if there isn't room for the extra digit.

Your odometer will no longer show 1/10s of miles after 99,999.9 miles again this is very common with cars today.

RE: Tripmeter
Weird! This just happened to me on Sunday. I filled up my car, reset the trip as I always do after each fillup to 0.0. I then drove roughly about 17 miles home. When I got in my car later that day, the trip had reset itself back to 0.0 even though I had really driven 17 miles and I never reset it. Since then, it's been fine, but off about 17 miles. I have no idea why it did that.....

RE: Tripmeter
I've noticed the same thing on my car as well. Randomly, and without reason, the tripmeter will reset itself. I dont tend to use it for any real purpose, but I did find it a bit odd. Must be a bug or something.
