The mileage on the OD will stay with the cluster, so when you switch to another one, you will be getting the other car's mileage.

okay either you can find a cluster with more mileage and then swap it out once your car reaches that mileage, or you can have the rom flashed. this however is very hard to do because you need a $10k equipment and nobody has it. try and look for speedo calibration shops and ask if they can help. even if you find a place, they are gonna be very nervous about doing it.
