Like the title of this thread states, what would cause my speedometer to read a higher speed than I am traveling?
Is this a mechanical issue with the factory gauge? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Mine reads about 10MPH faster then actual speed. I decided to not mess with the Speed O Meter and just added a GPS that gives digitally actual speed. There's also an APP you can get for your smart Phone that will work as a GPS Speed-O-Meter..
The need thing about the incorrect SpeedoMeter reading is if you take some one for a ride tell them to watch the speedometer when you're fast into a tight turn or rolling down the Interstate. |
