Re: spedometer off

Well...I see you have 3.73s, so the obvious fix would be to put the factory gears back in it since that's what it's calibrated for. I've got the same problem with my '02 since I put 4.10s in, but I know I can fix that with tuning (OBD II). No idea how to fix that on an OBD I car though other than changing gears, but I'm sure someone knows...

Re: spedometer off

Go to the "Transmissions and Drive train" section and read the sticky about transmission gears. There are different gears you can buy (internal in transmission), or converter boxes (external) that will change the speedo readout to be correct.
