Does anyone have any suggestions for the best and or easiest way to have the speedometer adjusted for different tire sizes??

 

It depends on what model year you have and if you have a digital or analog odometer.
Let us know and we can help you more.

'97 and I believe '98 models were analog and use a VSS gear. The gears are color coded based on the number of teeth.

I used this site to figure out which gear I needed when I went to 265/75/R16 tires:

I ordered the gear through my local Ford dealer and it only took 5 minutes for me to install.

If you're truck is digital ('99 or newer?) then this won't work.

I would have never known about this if I didn't read this message board. My Ford dealer told me I couldn't adjust my speedo/odo. I guess there were wrong.

I have a 98 F-150. About how much is the gear switch?

 

I'm at work so I don't have the receipt in front of me, but it wasn't more than $10, around $7 I think. You can install it yourself.
