Speedometer Question

I recently had my speedometer recalibrated to accomodate bigger tires. I went from 255/70/17 to 285/70/17. Does anybody know where exactly the info for the recalibration is stored? The only reason why I ask is because I am thinking of changing my cluster with a Roush Performance Cluster that I have had sitting in my closet. Will changing the cluster make me lose the recalibration? Or would disconnecting the battery or a dead battery make me lose that info? I just dont want to have to pay the stealership again for the same job. What do you all think?

I got if off ebay a few years back. I bought it from Dale Jarret Ford's ebay store. I'm not even supposed to have this thing because ROUSH doesn't sell it to the public unless you have a Roush vehicle. Roush is pretty tight with thier stuff. I bought it for a bit over $300. It looks pretty cool. It its one of those EL glow gauges. I believe it's made by SIMCO. I might be willing to part with it if I cannot configure it the way I want it to my vehicle. Any info on the speedometer question?

Sorry man, I'm still in learning mode. I just got my F-150 less than a month ago. I've been trying to soak up as much info as possible, which is why i've been asking so many questions.


IF, i were to take a guess though, I would think....new trucks are all fly by wire, meaning the speedo, is just a visual representation of what the computer is thinking. If the computer was reconfigured properly, a battery dissconnect should NOT unprogram what they have done to it to fix the speedo the first time. Again, just an educated guess though.....

The info is stored in your computer. There should be no problem changing clusters.
