Know Your Speed--No Matter What Tire/Ring-and-Pinion Combo

The Tru Speed Speed Signal Calibrator is easy to install and fairly easy to calibrate. There are a few charts that will tell you the amount of turns you must make on the adjusting screw to correct for bigger tires, regearing, or a combination of both. It may then be necessary to fine tune your vehicle’s speed by either using a GPS or by zeroing your tripmeter at a mile marker sign, driving by 10 or 20 markers, and then correcting for the amount your tripmeter is off.

Tru Speed will also restore your automatic transmission’s shiftpoints by fooling the computer into thinking that you have stock tires and factory ring-and-pinions. This may help with gas mileage and towing ability. There are also two different settings, so if you run some 35-inch All-Terrains on the street and 36-inch Swampers on the trail you can have both calibrations for proper speed readings at the flip of a switch.
