    I just got into a new 2019 Cascadia. On the highway, my speedometer shows me going 65 mph but my truck is actually only going 60 mph. I know this is something for freightliner to deal with but I can't get in the shop for a while. Am I missing something. And when I do get it to freightliner, would it be a quick fix?

    Possible the truck has smaller diameter tires on it now than it did at the factory.
    It's just a setting in the ecm. The dealer can change it in under ten mins.

    It's definitely off. I know you're like "no #### sherlock" I have a 2018 Plasticadia and it's speedometer is DEAD on accurate. I am just letting you know that it can be made right.

    I have a 19 as well and the problem I am facing is not even Freightliner mechanics know how to fix a 19. They all say they never worked on one before and don't know how to fix anything.

    It's just an ECM setting (revolutions per mile). If your Freightliner dealer can't fix that, find another dealer.
