This has been posted on various Mustang sites before, any '99 or later model will do it.

Our digital odometers have a neat "easter egg" built in.
If you hold down the reset button as you start the car, it will display "test"
Release the button.
Press it a couple times. It goes through a couple tests where it sweeps the gauges and illuminates all the dash lights.
After a couple more times, it will say "Eng 0000"
Drive a bit. You'll notice it is giving you your speed in mph!
Hit it again, it says "M 0000" This is your speed in metric, or km/h
Then hit it again, and it will give you your digital tach readout!
There is a bunch of other stuff it displays as well. See this reference for more information: http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/News/99hec.htm
When you turn the car off and on, it goes back into "normal" mode. Its a pretty fun trick. Also useful to have your digital speed readout sometimes. You'll notice the analog speedo reads a mph or two faster than the digital speedo...

Actually, I've managed to do this without resetting my tripmeter on my Mustang. In an F-150, it always seems to reset your tripmeter. I guess if you don't have it set to display the tripmeter when you start it, you can get it to not reset.

It has not reset my trip meter either, but I never have it set to that when I start.
