Help
My Speedometer is off by about 6 mph after installing lift/bigger tires.
What do I need to do in my 03 WJ to get the speedometer adjusted?
My dealer tried re-calibrating it with their ODB scanner...but the factory tire size-setting was still wrong.
I don;t really wanna spend $300 for an advanced tuner/scanner not knowing if it'll work or not.
Are there any speedo-Jeep shops in South Dade that can reset it?

If it's anything like a TJ, you just need to change the speedo gear. It's like $70.
- 2000 TJ with big rubbery tires for going on trails and stuff.

Just match your tire size to your gear ratio and get the correct tooth speedo gear...this is an easy swap.
