    i have a 89 toyota pickup
    4x4
    4 cylinder,5 speed
    5 inch body lift
    3 inch suspension lift
    33" tires

    my speedometer is 10 mph fast,so when im going 65mph i am actually going 75 mph.found this out the hard way,but the cop was awsome and did not give me a ticket.my question is can i change the gear on the speedo cable that screws into the tranni(the little plastic gear)if so does anyone know what size i would need,thanks.

    Did you change up the gearing when you upsized on the tires?
    It'll help with the drivability and will cure the speedometer too.
