Hi all,

Have changed my diff ratio in my early ute from its 3.89? over to a 3.23 so its not working as hard at highway speed (warm grey motor,three speed crashbox, 14"rims & 60 profile tyres), how can I bring my speedo back to give me a true reading :? :?
Its reading slow and because I live in NSW where revenue raising by the Highway Patrol and double demerits is on every public holiday I don't want to get nailed :wink:
I went with 3.23 after reading on this website the fors and againsts and as there a guys who have done the switch how did you fix the speedo error???

Wouldn't mind knowing myself, in the meantime go for a drive and get someone in another car to tell you where the speed limits are and take note and drive accordingly, thats what I'm doing at the moment, Trev 8) .

Theres a few mobs around that can make a corrector box for fixing this problem - try Autocables or Castle Autos.

I know the aussie boxes and trimatic have different gears that go on the end of the speedo for the box to change speedo reading. Do the crash boxes?
