Ever since I went from my 4:11 rear to the 3:55 the speedo is off...everyone knows that and I've found a few ways to correct it but the simplest one seems to be the gear that goes into the tranny on the cable from the speedo. Patricks sells those but is out of them and has been for a long time.. Seems they have to order 50 at a time so they are waiting until they get that many orders... That will take a while and I've already been waiting for months.

Does anyone else sell these things ? I don't wanna send the speedo in for calibration. At present I'm using a GPS speedo on my iPhone but would sure like to have it fixed...

Rather than change out the gears, I used a speedo adapter available from Jim Carter. This gives the ability to calibrate your speedo with exact accuracy specific to your truck, more accuracy than a gear change. You can determine your individual
requirements using GPS...no need to send out the speedo. I am very happy with the result.

*** Did Not Know About Jim Carters Speedo Correction Device. I'll Cancel My 6 Month Old Order From Patricks Tomorrow And Contact Jim Carter. ***
