speedometer and overhead console recalibration
on my 02 7.3 diesel superduty, the speedo reads rite about 4 mph high, and the overhead trip meter is calibrated for a 29 gallon tank instead of the 19 gallon in it.. is there any way to recalibrate the speedo, and the trip meter to read actual fuel tank size??

Never heard of a 19 gal tank on a SD. It should be 29-30 gal. on a short bed, 38 gal on a long bed. What makes you believe it is only 19 gals?

that was a typo that i missed.
i have a new keyboard, and the letters are very hard to see, so i have been making a lot of mistakes and spell check don't catch them all. the truck is a short bed with a 29 gallon tank.
the console is calibrated for a 39 gallon tank.
i just filled it up, and it is showing 606 miles till empty, with an average mpg of 15.6 mpg
the speedo is no big deal. i gust figured if it was a simple thing to do, i would reset it
