I appreciate the heads up! The cops around here are a mixed bag but I haven稚 met a dishonest one. I値l make sure to compensate for my speedo on the fly.

I致e thought about getting a tune before but I知 not 100% sure yet. I知 going to look in to getting the truck programmed ASAP but as for now I値l just have to watch my speed!

I had my Cheap Garmin that did the speed in my Mustang until I got the tunes changed over for the larger tires. It worked better than any of the Speed apps on my phone.
