Default Lets talk Speedo Correction!?

ok is there anyway besides the dealer flash for 32" tires to correct the speedo for bigger tires 33-37 etc?? I heard someone used a procomp programmer and it worked, but I dunno how true that is?

Your dealership can only flash your computer up to 32" tires. Beyond that, they will not be able to help you out. I have just used the ProComp Accu Pro on my JK and will do some testing against my GPS in a few minutes. I will post my results shortly

Well son of a gun - this thing actually WORKED!!!!

Seriously, using the Pro Comp Accu Pro, I was able to set a specific tire size down to a 1/4" (my worn down 315/70R17 measuered up to 33.5") and set the gear ratio to 5.13's which is what I have on now. And, after doing a series of tests and checking it against my GPS, I can tell you that my speedometer is actually reading dead on now. Need I say, if you're looking to get your speedo calibrated to match your new bigger tires, this thing will do the trick.

I will try to get a more thorough write-up on how to use this thing as soon as I can.

Sort of a thread jack, and you can delete if necessary, but I was wondering if the computer speedo is set to optional equipment, a base number for all, or if it comes programed accordingly to x/saraha/rubicon?

If you are refering to the JK computer, it is set for the specific size tire and gear ratio of your Jeep.

I was thinking the same thing...$200 is alot of money (and for me, it would basically be a one time use since I don't plan on going any larger in tire size).
