Hypertech speedometer calibration now available

FirstAscent · February 25, 2019

Hypertech speedometer calibration unit is now available for our trucks. I had been keeping an eye out for products since I have a lift/larger tires getting installed in a few days, I've seen others ask about this as well so figured I'd post up since I didn't see anything else yet.

It's an inline style so it connects in between one of your current plugs and remains in the vehicle. I haven't tried it out yet but will probably get one ordered up shortly. Oh, and if you're searching on their site, the new body style is the "1500", NOT the "1500 LD"

So did you get it? How has it worked out?

I read about it on their website last night and it goes behind the dash on the T1 trucks, I don't think I'd want to remove the whole dash each time I had to go to the dealer, sounds like a lot of work.

Just my .02

Plugs in just to the left of the brake pedal, there is no trim that needs to be removed. Dealers local to me are using them for the trucks they have lifted by shops since they have no way to calibrate them otherwise.

I haven’t yet, it’s on my short list to buy still. Recently finished my custom coilovers so that took priority

Good to know, I guess when they say behind the dash it's deceiving.

Has anybody in this forum installed one of these? Just curious what all the people here with bigger tires have done. Is everyone just living with the speedo being off by 5 mph?

So far I am (lol). Just haven’t pulled the trigger on it yet. Other stuff I wanna get before the calibration. Maybe Christmas time lol

Yup same for me, it will definitely get done, but for now other things take priority and I put up with the speedo being 5-7mph off at normal driving speeds

I have one on my 2016 and it works great. Plug and play and use my laptop to get it programmed. Have it perfect with my waze and speedbox app

For those who have the hypertech in line speedometer calibration how do you like it? Where did you order it from?

Im on hupertechs website and they have it priced at $230?

Also so when you put your info in. It has a option. 5.3 V8 Gas (D) or 5.3 V8 Gas (F). How do I know which one I am lol?

If if I go with the (F) it doesn’t show a calibration available, but if I choose (D) it has one available.

Sorry if if this is confusing

Bump on this topic. Did anyone ever get one of these installed? Or I noticed since this topic started, rough country actually makes one now too. Anyone recalibrated the tire size yet?

eppieguy · October 23, 2019

I have the Hypertech, super easy to use, I checked it against Waze and it's pretty much spot on.

Nice. How does it work? Does it plug into the OBD port? I was thinking about getting amp steps too. And do you have to update this thing or program it with your laptop or something? (From what I was reading??)

You get a module in which plugs in to a hardness under the dash. You first plug the module in to your PC and answer the question about stock tires and new tire size, hit program, and you're done. It's not more than a 2 minute process. The harness is easily accessible under the dash and installing that will take less than 5 minutes and nothing needs to be dissembled.
