02 F150 gages in "test" mode
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum or not, but here it goes. OK I'm just wondering if I put the gauges in the Test mode, does the electronic speedometer still read accurate? I've got the FX4 package on my truck and have since upgraded from 265/70-17 to 285/70-17. Since I've done that my mileage has dropped from 16 to 13.5mpg. I've got a Superchips tuner, but when I put in the tire height (32.7in), my speedo (needle) is off by quite a few mph. I just want to verify that I'm going the correct speed. I also checked with my GPS, and found that my setting at 31.25 matches my GPS. Now when I put the GPS in my wife's car, it's off by 5 mph, it reads 75mph and here speedo reads 70? So I'm totally confused.....Any suggestions on how to check it, besides going to a speed shop? Now when I ride next to a car with big electronic speedo, mine is right with what there's say....
