Default Recalibrating speedometer after lift?

So I was just wondering how I could reset my speedometer to account for bigger tires?

AEV Procal or Hypertech AccuPro is what you need.

I've heard that the dealership can reset the computer for 32's, since
I am just running 33's that should be alright. Does anyone know what they might charge to do that?

I'm not sure bc my dealership is SMALL...But you can beat that its going to be over $150 and you might as well just buy the Procal bc it can do all the same, if not more that the dealer can do!!

My dealer is doing it for free...I'd call an ask before you spend a bill. I've got a 6-speed and keeping the stock gears so I really don't require the Procal.

Quite a few posts on here about dealers charging for flashing/resetting the computers for whatever mods were done, and then finding out that the dealers system wasn't capable of the update requested. But of course the money was refunded. Not...

Verify verify verify that anything at all was actually changed.

If your dealer is not doing it for 'free' - definitely consider the ProCal.

Good advice thanks. If it does work I'll be sure to find out exactly what they did/how they did it and what type of software they used.
