Glad your result was good.  I sent a speedometer to Nisonger for =
recalibration after a diff change as they said:=20

  There will be an additional minimum $25 charge over and above our  =
standard $175 (plus shipping) rebuilding charge, because of the =
additional parts and labor required to change out the internal gearing =
of the Speedometer so that both the speed and distanced traveled both =
read correctly...

What I got back was a corrected odo but the speedometer was only =
accurate at 60 mph.  Off about 15% in city traffic and high speed.

At first Nisonger claimed it was my fault as I must have sent them the =
wrong data (cables turns in 1/100 mile) - but then I pointed out that =
the odo was correct.

Then they claimed that the speed could not be corrected for the diff =
change - and I explained there were at least three ways this can be =
adjusted (magnet strength, spring strength and gap between the magnet =
and drag cup).

Finally they agreed to try to make it better if I would ship it back (at =
my expense, of course).  I think their plan was to try a different =
spring.

I never got to find out if they could, in fact, do this, as UPS lost my =
package somewhere in the Bronx on December 19.

Fortunately I was able to locate an NOS unit with the correct TPM for =
the diff I have so all is well.
