Ooooh, you are tempting me...... But thats an expensive and mean piece of
kit.

Well, I am relying on whats written on the internet, but I understand that
the Dakota Digital SGI5 signal converter (www.dakotadigital.com) is all that
is needed to adjust the signal that goes from the replacement speedo pickup
and the Jeep speedometer. As I have not purchased the kit yet, your input
for validity of the claim that its a simple step to reconfigure the signal
would be appreciated.

Well, that SGI5 actually looks like it would do the trick though you'd
apparently have to wire it in since I doubt it can just be plugged in.
It's priced low enough that I will look into seeing if it's appropriate
for my own business since we don't have calibrators for all the brands
of trucks we do. If you get one and it works out, it'd be great if you
posted comments and feelings about the product here!
