had to use that write up after i had my sye installed. rotated that thing in all 4 positions & couldn't figure out why it wasn't working, then found in stu's write up the BATTERY has to be disconnected to reset the computer!

I have a speedo gear, Geoff.  It's set for 35's and either 3.73 or 4.88.  I can't remember.

I bought one, but never put it in.  It helps keep the miles low on my Jeep ;D.  I know that when my Speedo says 55, I'm doing around 65.
