    I'm going to be lifting my truck and putting larger tires on. What do you think of this product? has anyone ever used it?

    it seems pretty straight forward.

    I also plan on getting the scan gauge II to monitor other stuff, but i'd like to keep my speedometer and odometer correct.

    Not sure I would want to spend $240+ to have a correct speedo/odometer. Scan gauge can do that for you, and a whole lot more for cheaper.
    Would be interested to hear if this product actually works, and I have not heard of anybody actually using one of these yet.

    I didn't know scan gauge did that. Do you mean it tells you the speed or actually recalibrates it?

    To me it' s worth the money to have an adapter installed in the speedo cable so the odometer remains accurate

    But with larger tires your odo actually shows less miles which I see as a benefit. The speedo is a bigger concern to me because it reads slow and might mislead you into thinking you're not speeding when you actually are.
