Re: Speedo help
I'd figure out how much you are off, in percentage (by pacing with a GPS) and then throw an external adapter on there -

Re: Speedo help
Try this Excel 2003 Spreadsheet. It calculates RPM and Speedometer gear information including ratio adapters based on transmission, Transfer Case, axle ratio, & tire sizes.

Re: Speedo help
Plug your info into this calculator. http://www.tciauto.com/tc/speedometer-gear-calculator
Change the drive and driven gear ratio until you find a combo to the closest whole number. You may have to change the housing if you change the driven gear too much. |
