Hypertech makes a 'device' (not a tuner) that can change the GR and TS.

Only part to that is the 1998 model. Most of the programmers do not have the adjustments for our years and started in 99. I only skimmed the link you posted, but did not find anything to say it would not work. I sent them an email asking.

If you read in the forums then speedometer correction is as simple as going in to the dealer.
The first dealer I went to charged $65.00 to make the correction, oops, called me back and said they could only correct up or down 1/2 inch (not helpful with 35s). No work, so no charge.
The second dealer said they could correct up to 35" and it cost $95.00. After dropping it off, they called, I came back, paid and drove down the road. And immediately realized the speedo was still off by the same amount. Drove right back to the dealer to tell them and the first thing they say is here is your money back.
I, of course, don't want the money, I just need the speedo corrected. I am not given access to the wrench, no one will go for a test ride, just take your money and go. And I did.

I called a company that specializes in speedo gears. Told them what my set up is and it took about 15 seconds for him to say I needed a 17 tooth. Got one and put it in. Now Im good to go.

Alright, so the dealership may or may not be able to correct it?
I didn't check, but I assumed it doesn't have speedo gears. I'm thinking it only has speed sensors?
Oh yea, the tire size will be 245/75R/16 or 30".

On most of the van we have tuned the PCM controls the speedo output which means we can correct speedo, gear changes and shift points. Find your PCM code and email me and i will pull it up to confirm.
