Speedometer Calibration

2018 CCSB SRW 6.7 Lariat
Getting my 4" BDS RA Lift installed and upgrading to 37's

What do you guys use to re-calibrate your speedometers?

I have that same setup on mine, I left the speedo alone. With Forscan, you can get close to 35's I believe. For me, I'm ok with the truck logging "less miles" and reading slower than actual.

You can use FORscan to change your tire size, 35's work fine, 37's will throw a CEL. Only other option is a Hypertech Speedo calibrator. You have to remove the dash (IPC) and install it. Once its installed you're good to go.

Left mine alone and estimate MPH. I just add about 10% to current speed.

I did the same lift too, Went the DSC coil over and the ride quality is amazing compared to stock. Like mentioned above I have decided to just leave it, 10% will keep you safe.

I'm running 37s and bought this: Hypertech

Works great and super easy to install.
