This truck has an electronic speedometer. There is no speedometer drive cable, and therefore no drive gear to change to adjust the ratio.
You can buy a box for around $170 that is inserted into the sensor circuit to adjust the speedometer readout.
You can figure out how to reprogram the speedometer.
Those are the options I have found. I am dealing with this issue on my girlfriend's son's S-10.
Further research found this reference, which looks good to me. This weekend, I'm going to find the DRAC module and modify it according to the directions.
The electronic module is very specific. Is it worth spending the money just to "calibrate" the speedometer. What are the symptoms of the uncalibrated speedometer. Wheel size change. Tire size change. It would be cheaper and faster to just have a dealer do it then you wouldn't have an expensive piece of useless equipment taking up space
There is no speedometer cable on a 1991 s10. Instead it has a vehicle speed Senor or vss for short. The vss is near the tail end of the transmission and has a green and violet set of wires that connect it to the drac module under your glove box then the draconian module is connected to the ecu which is then connected to the speedometer on the instrument cluster.
A guage/ auto electric or speedometer shop can recalibrate the speedometer to adjust for bigger or smaller tire size. Why do you want to know that?
Take it in to your local dealer or local repair shop(call first to see if they have the equipment) and they should be able to recalibrate it for a small price.
to recalibrate spedo, u need to go to a mechanic that has electronic equipment to read your computer. recalibrating is done thru computer
Speedometer calibration differs depending on the vehicle and age. Some cars are calibrated by a technician with a computer program. Others require a gear change to drive the speedometer at a different ratio.
The easiest thing to do is to go to a speedometer shop and have them recalibrate the speedometer.
You didn't mention what year the S10 is but, yours probably doesn't have a cable driven speedometer. It is electronic.
If it's old enough to have a mechanical speedometer, it'll be in the speedometer itself. If it has an electronic speedometer, there is no speedometer gear - to recalibrate the speedometer to match something like, say, changing tire size would require changing the parameters in the engine ECM.
A speedometer cable for a 2000 S10 can be purchased from any auto parts store. If not kept in stock, the store can special order the part.
