I have compared it to my GPS and Goggle Maps and it's off 2 mph.
For the basic screen, holding down reset and turning the key to run (KOEO) will put it in that mode. For the fancy LCD screen, I think you hold down the down arrow button.
If it doesn't remain in that mode after you start it, start over and hold the button while starting until it enters the mode. It's been a number of years since I've tried this.
That's how ford programmed it. Engineering mode will show you what the truck is reading for your speed. You can also see it with Forscan. Usually the truck is seeing your true speed and using it for mileage calculations but for some damn reason Ford thinks it needs to show 2 mph faster on the speedo. Sucks. Apparently U.K. vehicles have a 4 mph bias.
My speedometer is off by - 2 mph. When the GPS or Maps is reading 65, the Speedo reads 63. Thanks for the info.

Okay, didn't know this at all. Thanks. I'll give it a shot at one point.
I have recently aquired a 2014 F250 6.7L Powerstroke. It has a 4 inch lift with 33" BFG AT's. I am reading 11 MPG on the dash after reset (in town). The truck has 57000 miles.
I would like to do a delete and tune and replace the intake with my main goal being to increase my MPG's.
I have very little knowledge about all of this other than what I have been able to aquire from friends who have deleted their 7.3s.
It has been suggested that I get a S&B intake, 5" mandrel bent stainless exhaust, and a tuner.
Would like to hear thoughts and opinions on steps to take to increase MPG. I wont be towing anything at this time but intend on getting a 5th Wheel in a couple of years.
Thanks for and guidance and suggestions.
You are running a 4 inch lift and 33's. That's where your fuel millage is. 11 is not bad for around town. If you are going to tow a 5th wheel the lift will have to com e off because the truck is to tall.

I am towing constantly with my truck. I have a 6 inch lift on 37" tires. I also have a 5th wheel. It most definitely can be done safely. I do have an adjustable 5'r hitch, and also have adjustable spring hangers on the 5th wheel. I did not flip the axles like most do to accommodate a lift, I simply utilized a different mounting hole for the leaf springs. It's a huge myth, that lifts kill any towing capability, I have driven lifted trucks over 30 years.

That's interesting. Never knew any of that. Thanks...
I think some of you have the wrong opinion of me. I like lifted trucks big tires and all the daylight you can muster. The ONLY thing I don't like is removing the emission systems on our trucks in the name of making it better.
Sure the system has some quirks but nothing we cant live with.
Put all the chrome, lights, big tires, and make the truck a reflection of yourself. Thats what I fought for. After all this is America.
My 5th wheel is 34 foot long and loaded around 13,000 pounds. I don't camp in mine I travel around the country. I have pulled 33,000 miles with my truck so far. I have been from the west coast to the east coast a couple times. Numerous trips to the mid west. I have been from Texas to Canada We have visited more than 50 cities and we are still not done traveling. I installed air bags to keep my truck from sagging. I also installed the compressor on the truck so I don't have to drag out a cord to air them up. Oh crap i modified my truck LOL Not to mention the 4 inch hole I cut in the bed of the truck for the hitch. LOL
I was looking for a picture of my rig but its on my other computer.
