Buy a superchips or a hypertech handheld programmers and they will re-caliberate your speedo for ya. Or you can buy a Superlift speedo calibration box that hooks in-line with your VSS and adjusts i believe volatge. Irregardless thats the best way to get it done. I personally would go with a Superchips or hypertech unit as not only can they calibrate your speedo, but they can read computer codes as well as give yeah some extra ponies. Good luck

<a href="http://pages.prodigy.net/stevebaz/_import/pages.prodigy.net/stevebaz/index3.html">Click here</a> and then go almost to the bottom of that very long page to where it says <b>SPEEDOMETER</b> in big letters. Read all about it and then save that page in your favorites or better yet, scratch it into the side of your monitor. You'll need it for something else later.

I dont like that way. If you ever want to sell your truck with stock tires you gotta go through and re-do all that crap, and if you dont then the poor sap who buys your truck has to figure out when he corrects a corrected speedo why hes doin "x" MPH when he really isnt. Plus I hate math, lol
