speecdo correction
ive got a 2001 f250 super duty 5.4l. i need to get my speedo corrected after installing 35's.
will the dealership do this? if so, how much can i expect to pay?
i do not want to purchase a tuner just yet, but i do need this corrected asap

the diagnostic systems we (dealerships) have do not have the capabilities of speedo correction to that extent. you are limited by preset boundaries ford engineers preprogram in the equipment for programable parameters such as tire size and gear ratios.Chris

If you do digital monitors, most of the ones that I know of(I know mine does it and it's the outlook monitor), one of the gauges you can select is a speed gauge and you can set it up with aftermarket tires, plus you will be able to have all your gauges as well and the safety features that you can only get with digital gauges compared to analog ones.

cool. do most dealerships offer the service, or is there only a select few that do?
ive got quite a few large ford dealerships in the area, but ive been told that they dont offer the corrections.....
i'll call tommorow and find out for sure.

Ford dealerships have the capability to calibrate your speedo, but some lack the knowledge and simply refuse the service if they don't know how. Call around a few places until you find a shop that can do it.
For your specific tires, go to the manufacturer's web site and find the revs per mile, take that to the dealer.
