103 500 miles is 166 567.104 kilometers and so we are of by 900 miles from my calculation. I am at 167,400

People post this problem 2 or 3 times a year. It's not common, but it happens. Just try the hold down the reset button thing. It cannot hurt to try.

As far as the blinking goes, if you cannot get it to sync, you can at least turn off the blinking. I set my 99 to stop blinking after I replaced the BCU, because my scanner can do that, but it cannot do the resync.

So have you tried to hold the reset button down yet? Not saying it's definitely the problem, just wondering if you tried it.

I would press on the cluster and see if the numbers change.
Trick would be to flex the circuit board.
Could be a bad solder joint or a bad pin connection.

Or pull the cluster.
Keep it plugged into the wiring.
And, try to flex it end to end.
If the numbers change around then the cluster is defective
as to it has an intermittent connection.

Yes i went out just now and held it in again and nothing happened with the trip or mileage. So maybe i am 900 miles off in my mind as to what i recall the mileage being. So if that's true and it froze on kilometers that would make sense of this. Thinking this has to be what's happened here. Just a weird thing to have happen on this truck but electrical parts do have a possibility of failure I am just dumbfounded that the dealership said what they said.

If nothing happened than it's frozen. It should change back and forth.
