Here is the other half of the sheet bigger rubber faster gears from 579 HZ to 662 HZ where I started the other one. I think the one will cover @prerunner404 but here is the rest of it.

You can get a more accurate tire rev per mile by going to the manufacturer's website. I have a Dixon Ametek speedo book if you think it might help. I will just need to find it. I reset my KW speedometer a couple months back.
Diesel Dave and prerunner404 Thank this. -
Update;
I set the Dip Switches using the formula for my application. On a previous thread I had mention I had set the ppm on the ECM and my speedo was still off about 3 to 4 mph. I tried several times and even guess at it and was still off so I gave up. Few members mention the dip switches but I was done.
Over the weekend this thread got started and with the help of the few, I decided to play with formula for the dip switches, I got it on the money so far. My gps and a couple of other apps I use show my speedo right on the money. I only drive about a mile but was good.
Thanks for helping out @NorthernMechanic, @mtoo and @beltrans from the previous thread. Now it's your turn @prerunner404 to get yours going.ProfessionalNoticer and AModelCat Thank this. -
Once I get to a place to stop I'm gonna work on mine. Glad you got it @Diesel Dave
Diesel Dave Thanks this. -
Just did this on my KW, Ametek(the gauge supplier) has a formula. One thing I'd like to point out is that the sip switch settings differed from the OE gauge to the replacement gauge I bought from Ametek. Identical gauge, different settings.
Not sure if Pete makes their own gauges.
BTW, I need to do this on my 91 Pete 378 with 3.90 rears and 24.5's. Speed reads exactly 10 slow....Where's that formula?Diesel Dave Thanks this. -
The formula is in the beginning of this thread. -

FYI that cheat sheet is Old School, I used it on Petes that had mechanical cats in them. The newest truck I used it on was a 96 Pete with a mechanical cat. Remember old school and it must be the 80 mph speedo.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I had lost my copy and didn't remember I had shared it in this threadProfessionalNoticer and Diesel Dave Thank this.
