Went to 3.73 gears. Do I need to change the speedo gear or can it be done by tune?
Thanks

If you've got a competent dealer near you, you could have them reflash the ECU for the new gear changes as well.


....but, depending on what they want to change for the service, it may end up covering a good portion of what you would pay for a hand held like an SCT X4 or equivalent tuner.

I'll pass by and see what they will charge. Can't be more then $200 I'm hoping. Otherwise I'll just get an early Christmas gift. Not really going to mess around with the tune to much once everything is set right unless I have to keep correcting the speedometer with the different gears. I heard that it needs to be adjusted every so often.

Committing this post to memory when I finally decide to leave the 80's behind and park a '15-up in my driveway.
