speedometer correction we can do ourselves?

i thaught i remembered a thread on a way that we could recalibrate our speedometer on our own. if i remember right, it envolved shorting a wire out, i think near the glovebox with a paper clip. every time you did it, 1 mph would be corrected for. i might be crazy or im thinking of something else. i tried a search but i cannot find it. any help would be great.
thanks
andy

That was for a 94-97. The only way you can do it yourself on a 2000 Superduty is to go buy a superlift truespeed....and that will cost you more than the dealer will charge to reset it.

I haven't used one personally. A buddy of mine local runs 38's on his Superduty and he said it's pretty simple to use and it works. No issues with it AFAIK.

I have had my truspeed for almost a year and I haven't had any problems with it. I really like it actually. Especially the toggle for 2 separate settings of tire sizes

does it it work through the computer connector or is it inline from the speed sensor?
