Question differential change

I have just changed the differential on my 98 f150 from a 308 to a 373 and my speedometer is way out of whack what is my next step?

Not sure about the '98s, I know my '00, they just reprogrammed the dash. I think the '98s are the same, if not, you will have to change the speedo gear..

You have to get a new speedo gear for the 97s and 98s. The 99+s have the all electronic dash that can be programmed.

If you have an automatic you can change the gear, if you have a stick you will have mag pickup type sensor and you will have to reprogram the computer.
