Differences in trip odometers


Recommended Posts

Thanks Jeff, let me know if you find the button/spring.

As for the lens, I probably would pass on that offer.

Did a little searching last night and a couple of the various sellers of re-pop lenses say that you need to reuse your old button. Can’t seem to locate anyone selling new buttons and I doubt that Ford has a # for just the button/spring so can’t check NOS places like Green Sales.

Kurt - Here are the pics and measurements I promised. And you are welcome to this cover. It is in pretty good shape and I believe everything will polish out.

Gary, thank you very much for the offer! I may take you up on that, but not just yet. After seeing a few pics now of how Ford designed that button/spring device and what it looks like,

my mind immediately goes to “That’s much ado about nothing” I’m an Architect, that’s what I see in things sometimes.

So, this is my current thought, for the time being. The Sniper 2300 that is newly installed has a handheld GUI. I have to have a stylus onboard to switch through all of the various screens and gauges. Gonna try to drill or melt a hole in the lens to allow the stylus to trip the trip.

I have a number of scratched lens to practice on, so no biggy if I make mistakes. Also thinking about how often I ever use the trip odo in our other vehicles. Only real reason currently in the truck is to more easily calculate MPG.

I’ll reach out to you and Jeff if I end up being burdened by needing to find where I put that darned stylus.
