speedometer ????
On my way home from work today, this guy in a brand new Acura thought his car was fast so i had to shut him down.I had my speedometer buried for about 3 seconds then it drop all the way to 0 then back up again.Did this happen to anyone else before?

Anything over 105 and my speedometer will shut off and the digital mileage reader will read -------- as if there is no mileage on it. I'm sure this happens with most everybodys but most people never find out.

Haha, yes, I ordered a flux capacitor from riffraff, just kidding, but as soon as you dip below 105 the speedometer starts working again and the mileage comes back. I passed a nissan altima yesterday and as I did he stepped on it so I ran him. So this is fresh in my mind.

Where in Hawaii (Oahu county) can you find out it will do 105? When I lived in Hawaii county we barley had enough straight road to hit 80 in a super duty...lol

Must be an '02 and up thing. My '01 will peg the needle until I let out of it. I can also run above 95 mph in my modified stock tune since I had Jody remove the speed limiter during live tuning last year.

We had quite a few long streaches on the Queen Lillikilliani highway down by south point and up in Kohala, great spots to stretch them out, but just try and find diesel outside of Kialua or Hilo you better know where to go and what days there open (island time don't ya know) of course I left in '91 maybe it's different now! But I hope not!

Mine seems to stop when it gets to the shift indicator and just hangs there until I back down.

I have a digital readout of mph on my Aeroforce Scangauge. I have it calibrated to my analog speedometer which has also been calibrated for tire size. I will have to try it out again with the Aeroforce reading displayed and see what it reads, as compared to the stock speedometer, when I exceed 100 mph. Y'all have me curious now!

I had the opportunity to try out the speedometer digital readout on the my Aeroforce Scangauge on the way to work this morning. I romped on it at 50 mph, in my 60E tune, and took it up to 115 mph as read on the Aeroforce. The stock analog speedometer held steady past 100 at the edge of the shift indicator. Still wondering why the '02's drop back.
