Ok so I got my new 3.7 diff put in today. Its put my speedo out heaps 120kmph on the speedo is actually 100kmph, so its out by quite a lot. I found this https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/install-speedo-corrector-kit-vn-vp.60651 I was just wondering if this would work with my caprice and if there is anything else I could do to fix it instead?

Also will this correct the mileage as well, because if the speedo is out i am guessing the cpu is putting more Km’s on the clock right?

Cheers

dont quote me on it but i think VT onwards the speedo is driven via CAN bus so the jaycar corrector wont work and the ECU needs flashed by holden to suit the diff gears thats if i remember correctly

I know but it goes away next time you turn on the car. But if holden use tech 2 and put police mode in you get a digital speedo where the speed alert use to be every time.

Heres a hint, if your going to disable the speed alarm and enable the digital speedo, raise the alarm to a high figure eg. 130, something you will never reach. Otherwise if you exceed that speed even when you change to digital speedo, the damn speed alarm goes off. I have a VX Berlina and it was set for 110km/h before I got Holden to change to speedo, still goes off on the freeway which is 110km/h.
