Adjust speedometer
I have a 2019 F350 Limited where the speedometer needle falls below 0 when at a stop. This causes the truck to read 3-5 MPH SLOWER than you are actually travelling. Of course, I have the digital speedometer as a option, and it reads correctly, but I would like to display other information there when I am in an unfamiliar area towing my travel trailer.
My question is this, is there any way I can adjust the needle on the speedometer to be back at zero when at a stop? Or, is my only option getting a new instrument cluster?

Well, it is under warranty, but has been declared within spec so they won't do anything about it.
Ignoring it is not really an option. As someone who has a decades old habit of driving 5 MPH over the speed limit, this error now puts me at 8-10MPH over the speed limit and in town that is a problem. Plus, this is EXTREMELY annoying on a $95k truck!

While I don't disagree this shouldn't happen on any vehicle, much less a 95k vehicle but personally to me it wouldn't be that big of a deal. I'd just remember "O I'm 3-5 MPH faster than my speedo is showing".
Is this something new or has your truck been doing it since new?
Found this article that may or may not help, I don't think its a 250 but looks like a 150 to me (I admit I've paid attention to earlier 250's gauges though).

It's been doing it since new and if I can remember that it is reading slow, then it's not a problem. It's really a problem when I'm focusing on driving in a new area with my travel trailer and not on the difference between actual and displayed speed on the speedometer.
