How easily can it be done and what is the procedure for calibrating the
speedometer with that super-short kit TW? It's a real PITA for most
electronic speedometers as I am in the business and it's an ongoing
issue for those in my industry. We're left with expensive kits like
Hypertech for calibrating new speedometers which at $340 and up not
including labor, is always an issue for my customers. There has never
been a time when I didn't wish all of the trucks I have work done on
didn't have a simple speedometer gear so speedometer calibration could
once again be simple, quick, and inexpensive to do.

Is there a quick/simple/inexpensive way to calibrate the Jeep's
speedometer without spending major $$$ for things like the Truespeed
calibrator or Hypertech programmer? If there isn't, that would be
reason enough for me to stay with the standard non-super shorty SYE kit
like I have now which works fine for even very tall lifts (within reason
on "very tall").

If you are looking to avoid "incrementalism", skip the SYE and get an Atlas
t-case.
