    A0 High Speed Gears - Speedometer Dip Switch Adjustment

    Not in like a year. I primarily use standalone GPS. They are ~47".

    Is your speedometer an Ametek? All those I have are Medallion.

    A0 High Speed Gears - Speedometer Dip Switch Adjustment

    What I'm talking about with Little/Big Endian is which way the digits go. Take the normal number 750. That's Big Endian. 700 + 50 + 0. Biggest (most significant) digit is on the left. Little Endian would be if we flipped the digits around... 057. It still means 750, but the biggest digit...

    A0 High Speed Gears - Speedometer Dip Switch Adjustment

    It isn't clear that it's that easy. In my post previously, I describe the process of how to adjust it through trial and error. The least significant changes happen with the left switches (lowest numbered switches), and the most significant changes happen with the right switches (highest...

    A0 High Speed Gears - Speedometer Dip Switch Adjustment

    There are no other switches that are exposed. I've never tried taking it apart to see what's inside. Make sure to do your tests over longer distances and average. Doing it over only one mile is too easy to introduce error. I'm not sure why it would be different, but it just seems to not be a...

    A0 High Speed Gears - Speedometer Dip Switch Adjustment

    This is one of the things I wonder about in the discussions about fuel mileage. I have a suspicion that the LMTV odometer system (meaning it could be the fault of the odometer, the sender, or other parts in the system) is fairly inaccurate. People report mileage numbers that are just not...

    A0 High Speed Gears - Speedometer Dip Switch Adjustment

    Why do all that? You just take the percent change of the diameter and that will be your percent change in speed too. Stock tires are 46.4" tall. If you get 48" tires, divide 48" / 46.4" = 103.4%. So when your speedometer reads 58MPH, you'll actually be doing 58MPH * 103.4% = 60MPH Probably...

    A0 High Speed Gears - Speedometer Dip Switch Adjustment

    "Simple" is not the same thing as "quick and easy". Lots of things are conceptually simple, but a pain to actually do.

    A0 High Speed Gears - Speedometer Dip Switch Adjustment

    Not really, but I detailed HOW you come up with one that works, in a post above. So you can start with my settings, and see if you need to adjust.

    A0 High Speed Gears - Speedometer Dip Switch Adjustment

    I got a chance to try these out today. I tried both of my proposals above, and neither was correct. The first setting (1010101100) showed about 2x actual (GPS) speed on the speedometer. The second setting (1011000001) was about 1.5x actual (GPS) speed displaying. So I started...

    A0 High Speed Gears - Speedometer Dip Switch Adjustment

    I tried these settings and it was about 10% low for me (e.g. shows about 60MPH at 65MPH actual speed). Has anyone tried contacting Medallion and getting the actual settings guide? If we assume these switches are a binary number, for pulses per mile (or some multiple, such as this binary number...
