    Once again, I can't thank you enough.
    My odometer is now dead on.
    I am the happiest guy in the world right now.

    Hi, I'm new to the forum. I've got a 2000 Western-Star 4964EX with an N14 Cummins engine, 13 speed Eaton Trans, 3:36 gear ratio with
    295R75-22.5 Sumitomo 908 tires. My speedometer is approx 10 miles off, showing slower yjan actual speed. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to correct the problem? Thanks

    1994 fld 120. Just changed my diffs from 3.91 to 373. Tire size is 11r24.5. With changing the diffs I like to adjust the speedometer head. Any idea what the switches should be with the 3.73 gears.

    Check post #26 from FYDA Freightliner Cincy. He attached a couple of PDF's. Reading the pdf's it looks like the dip switches are on the back of the speedometer. I intend to pull my speedo panel out of my truck and see if there are dip switches on the back in the next few days. I'll post back with my findings. Mackdaknife, is that where you found the dip switches?
