its relitivley simple to check the ecm parameters, they use a a funky looking round conectorthat plugs in under your dash( on a KW its the drivers side) that feeds back into a laptop via usb cable. They then type in your engine type and all the data comes up thru the ecm to the laptop. Then they can see how many idle hours
average mph
what your rev limiter is set at
what the truck is mph is set it etc. -
Like the article said there are several parameters that must be set CORRECTLY to result in the correct speedo reading.
The computer may show a top governed speed of 65 but if the tire size is wrong in the comp, the trans final drive ratio wrong, or the rear ratio wrong you may be going faster or slower than 65.1pissedoffdriver Thanks this. -
