Speedo correction

crash2 · Feb 28, 2007

So whats the easiest way to correct the speedo on my 01' dodge? It seems to be around 5mph off...

TreeClimber · Feb 28, 2007

Easiest? Piece of paper taped to the dash, with speed adjustments on them.

What I'd do? Go to Tacoma Speedometer, down on 512 and I5. Or at least call them. I got a gear replacement for my tcase and brought me exactly back where I needed to be. They even swapped the speedo gear shafts for me, no charge. Total fix was like 10 bucks. (on my Atlas'd YJ)

I think you can have your dodge speedo correction done in the computer, don't know what it costs though.

Is it a tire calibration thing in the abs? Chevs are like this (but you can only choose from a select tire size)

I would love to do this to my rig. Driving 50 in a 55 sucks. Makes me feel like I'm holding up traffic.

I think mine might be a bit old for the computer fix though. That, and I want to wait until I get new rubber on Yoda.

Could I call them and just have them send me a gear?

The speedo works off the ABS sensor...which is fed through the computer. What gear would you change...the ABS sensor?

I can change the tire size/ABS sensor settings with the Smarty

I love having my Speedo a ways off.. Makes the truck have less miles on it :flipoff: . That helps when you put 50k on it in a year.

I had my buddy at the Dodge dealer recalibrate mine /w the DRB scan tool. All I had to do was find out the revolutions per mile of my tires and input that number.
