Speedo Calibration....

Anyone know how much my speedo is off? I have 35" tires on now and haven't calibrated it yet. Just curious to know. I figure at 65 mpg it might be as much as 6 or 7 MPH off, but really have no idea?!

thats about right it gets worse the faster you are going. i use my gps as my speedo. also my mileage guage vs gps is off by about 1 mile for every 10. so for every 500 miles I drive on the stock odometer the gps says i drove 550 miles. i also paid for to recalibrate it and it did little, they are limited to recalibrating on tires smaller than 35's

Lots of products available to re-cal the speedo. Shopping for one for myself because of my 35s.

My IQ will tell me the speed, I just need the engine and the trans to know it also.

Yeah, I think a handheld tuner with some custom tunes is the best way to get the correct speedo reading. I know it's a pretty easy fix with one of those.

Good, since my display says I am getting 9 MPG, I must be actually getting 10, yippee!
