Q: if this were due to a tire size the speedometer would not be consistant in the amount of error. at low speeds the speedometer would be close and the faster you went the farther off it will get. the fact that the speedo is always the same amount of mph in error and the odometer does not agree with the speedometer shows that it has nothing to do with tire size. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving first check the tire size against what the factory put on the truck. sounds like you have smaller tires than factory or the tires are a different brand that doesnt measure the same diameter. if they are the same size take the truck to a dealer and have them reprogram the speedo to read properly. if you pull the needle off you will likely damage the drive motor that moves it. it is also possible that someone else was running larger tire on it and had a programmer change the speedo settings to match those tires. -- steve w. we just bought a 97 1500 and the speedometer is 9 mph high at all speeds and the odometer is 2/10 mile slow in 10 miles. im not concerned about the odometer ... it says 9.8 miles in a measured 10 mile stretch ... no big deal. its the speedo that is curious. it says 30 - youre going 21 ... it says 50 - youre going 41 ... etc. is there an adjustment in it to change this does a person have to remove the speedo and reposition the needle ----== posted via feeds.com - unlimited-uncensored-secure usenet ==---- http//www.feeds.com the #1 group service in the world! 120000+ groups ----= east and west-coast server farms - total privacy via encryption =---- .
