I had a gauge cluster go out on a 2003 Silverado. If memory serves me right I took out the cluster and got a new one from Chevy. They asked what the mileage was so they could enter it into the new one. It seems I could have said anything.
I bought an aftermarket jeep cj instrument cluster.
The odometer quit after 12 miles. Additionally, the temp gauge pegged hot about the same time. Engine temp is fine.
Cheap electric stuff.
I’m looking at getting the military style dash with the instruments split up.
The glove box is on the left side. Fitting for a left handed person like me.

You could, but the car mileage is also stored in the PCM.
