Not that it is a big to have the speedo off, however in the end my total milage will not be correct. Does anyone have a programer so I can recalibrate?

doesn't your Jeep use a speedo gear? IIRC the downside of the superchips is it is wed to a VIN so you cant use it on multiple rigs. FAIL...

I have been told that a dealer can go in to your computer and change it. I went to have mine done and even after 3 different techs said they could do it they ended up being wrong. They said my computer was from an off year and they could not interface with it. I told them to stick it once I heard they still wanted to charge me.

just curious, how far off is it? If 35" tires will correct it, and you're running 33's now, then.... ummmm.... .....Little Napoleon wrote:Not that it is a big to have the speedo off, however in the end my total milage will not be correct
.... carry the two..... then your speedo / odometer is over reporting your speed / mileage by 6.448% (assuming my HS math is right). So when your speedo says 70 MPH, you're really going about 65. And after 100,000 miles, your odometer will read 106,448Re: Re-calibrate speedo programer anyone have one?

It ranges from being off by 5mph to 15mph
example when the odometer reads 35, I am actually traveling ~ 27. However at 65-70 I am ~ 51mph...

Actually, your speed is off consistantly based on percentage. 27 divided by 35 = .77 so that would be 23% off. The average of 65-70 is 67.5 divided by 51 = .75 or 25% off.
