So I let my daughter use the Blazer for awhile and she accidentally found out it has remote start

recognized that prison the moment I saw it, then I noticed there was a blazer in the picture, nice truck man, and the original Blues Brothers is probably my favorite movie of all time

Friend of mine bought the blazer new, after his untimely demise I bought it from the estate. It was sitting for over two years when I got it. Cleaned it up and made it safe. daughter needed room for second baby,she was getting out of it carrying too many things at once, and the thing started up on it's own. Please don't tell my wife though, she wants remote start in her Saab

Picked up a new hitch at bone yard, $30. Never liked the wires hanging under the hitch.

So the front door was rattling, took off the trim, seat belt, and striker.
Cut some heavy gauge sheet metal and bent. Secured in place from behind with wood blocks locked in place with tapered shims. Welded in place, and put out burning shims. Removed blocking and welded all cracks, making sure I penetrated through to the patch. Grinded down excess weld. then grinded some more. Till it looked almost like original. Primed, filled imperfections with caulk, and painted. Pictures don't show it but I also cleaned up weld, primed and painted inside the pillar. Waiting for paint to dry to re-assemble.

So I swapped out my cluster and my odometer went from 110,000 to 190,000. I thought this was a display and mileage was stored in the comp. Can I get back to my original milage?
