I have been using the Superlift Tru-speed to correct the speedometer. Works with 4 wheel ABS too.<br><br>http://www.superlift.com/speedcal.asp

Re:speedo corection

If I'm correct, he needs a new speedo gear to correct his since his isn't controlled by a computer. I think that's right. I'm not sure though.

He said &quot;new truck&quot;. So I assume that he hasn't updated his signature yet. You know what they say about assume

Re:speedo corection

Thanks for the reply Commando. I have the 3.55's and I just went to 315/75-16's which are, on paper, 34.6'' tall. How is it that no one else has suggested changing this gear? I thought it was only possible on the earlier models. I do have a 2002. Thanks again.<br><br>Udaloy

Re:speedo corection

2002's don't have the speedo gear.<br>We have to do it electronically.<br><br>Either by haveing the dealer reflash the PCM with the correct tire size (only up to 265 though) or getting an aftermarket &quot;box&quot; to correct the speedometer.<br><br>Either the Superlift Truespeed or the Abbot ERA.<br><br>For now, I'm using the GPS for Speedo/odo correction.<br><br><br>phox
