Hey all,

I just got back from the speedometer place to have a new speedo gear installed. When I came back to pick up the truck, the guy said they don't make a gear small enough to fix my speedo. I don't have anything radical done to my truck, it's a 1998 with 4.56 gears and 33" tires...this doesn't seem right to me. I can't remember exactly what size I would need but I think it was 20 or 21 tooth, which he said they don't make. I originally had 3.55 gears and stock tires before the changes. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I know there are people with MUCH bigger tires and gears than me, so I would figure a gear would be available???

Thanks,
Chris

 

The largest gear from Ford is a 20 tooth gear and I think you will need taller then that. You can get a 23 tooth gear from Mustangs Unlimited here http://www.mustang-unl.com/ .
I have the 23 tooth with 430gears and 30.5 inch tires and it is still running the speedomete about 3-4% too fast. You may need to go with one of the electronic correction devices.
Read this post to see how LE PEW corrected his

Good luck, hope it works out for you...
