Justin what kind of radio are you trying to install in your truck. I put a radio out of a 2005 neon in mine and the adapter cost me $22 at the local dodge dealer.

I wasn't the one looking for it, but that's a handy link.

Oilcan64 - #54RA on that page would work fine. Use a GPS to figure your error percentage and order it up.

I hate to hijack but I need a new one too because the factory OEM one quite. Truck is what's in my sig, 3.54 gears. The # on my adapter is 1153.
Which one of those from PATC am I going to need. The #54RA2 right? but I don't know what % I'm off (I hooked the VSS straight up to the pinion gear thingy and bypassed the adapter altogether so I can have OD) and I don't have access to a GPS. The speedo is showing a lot slower than I'm actually going so I need to speed up speedo reading.

Then run an indicated 60 on the highway and time the mile markers with a stopwatch.

There's more than one way to skin a cat.

no mile markers out here I don't think. Not that I've ever noticed anyways.
plus if I drove that speed I'd definitely get nailed for speeding. I'm thinking I'm at least out 20-30+% highest speed limit here is 110km/h. If I drove your 60 that would be 100 km/h which in reality would be closer to 120-130 or more. That's an aside for the fact there isn't mileage markers, or at least none that I've noticed.

I was just hoping someone might know off hand how much I gotta speed up my speedometer for it to be accurate. it doesn't help that I have 255/85/16 tires but still... what I'll do is get my friend to drive a constant 100 km/h and see how fast that is for me.

Thanks anyways
