January 15, 2015 - 273,156miles

Read actual mileage from cluster. Mileage reported was 273,156. Due to me installing the wrong odometer previously it wasn't working so I'm not sure what mileage this new mileage will be replacing. I'll have to roughly re-calculate the mileage intervals for things like the next oil change, TB change, etc.

Still working on getting a fully functioning instrument cluster.
