Changing gearing on '99 F-550
#62
The SCT option won't work for 03-04 trucks because they can't flash the ABS. The 05 and up trucks use the ECM for the speedo. I was told that the speedo will read the same if I change the ratio because it is just reading revs per mile off the tone ring, so it doesn't matter if I have a 2.70 or 7.20. Now I'm learning that the tone ring will only work down to a 4.30 because any ring gear lower isn't machined for a tone ring. Basically 4.30 4.88 and 5.13 (I think) are for Ford rear ends with tone rings. If this is the case I wonder if a 4.10 ring gear can be machined to accept the tone ring?
