Default Yellow box calibrations

Propably not the first time this question is asked here and for that I apologize.

I'm wondering if there is a known setting for the yellow box on stock tires and 4.57 gears?
Trying to prepare how much work I will have to do when I will install my gears.

Calculate the % difference between the stock gearing to the 4.57s and use this as a starting point. It's just math.

Ahh ok.

So the difference between 4.57 and 4.1 is roughly 11.46%

That means the setting would be 1010010, correct?


Ohh wait or is it 0101110 I

however, if you want to dial out the natural error of your speedo and tire variation, you will have to get paced by a known calibrated source or get shot with a radar device.
Or borrow a portable GPS ... works great.

We had a little discussion on this some time ago. If you do the calibration on a level road, then you're likely fine. However, it's questionable whether or not a car based, "civilian" GPS device will measure distance correctly if there is a significant elevation change. For example, if you measure going down or up a steep incline, it may not give you a correct reading. It may only give you the horizontal distance travelled and base your speed on that.
