is the needle zero'd properly?

I have no idea. Apparently it must not be. How would one go about adjusting it? Not that it really matters, it's a sort of built-in saftey factor for me, as I tend to drive with a heavy right foot. I just found it a bit odd.

We took a trip to Denver over the holiday weekend for a wedding. Of course, we took the 'stang. I had my wife snap a pic of the dash. The cruise was set at 84. Yet the needle on the speedometer was reading 86. I was shocked how well the cruise control did in the hills coming back. 6th gear at 84-85 mph and never had to shift. I figured it would bog down some and I'd have to stab the clutch and downshift, but it never happened, even on the longer hills. Anyways, has anyone else noticed the difference between the cruise speed and the speedometer?

Looks like cruise is set to 83 to me.... maybe you need glasses

My 17 GT is the same with the spedo indicating a slightly higher speed than the cruise control set. Verified cruise control accuracy with gps.
I just attributed it to my driver position, slightly being off to the side of spedo and not directly in front. It is annoying but tolerable.
Also, you have at least one low tire air pressure.

I already wear glasses. Two pair even, as I can't stand the bi/multi focal glasses. Huge pain in the ass. As far as the 83 vs 84, I guess she snapped the pic at 83, not 84. My bad.

No, the car didn't pick up the new tpms when I had the new wheels put on last year. I've tried to do the re-learn by letting the air out of the tires routine, but that didn't work. Par for the course for me.

Looks like photo parallax. When you're cruising, put your eye in center alignment with the speedo. From the normal driver's seat position, the speedo is off center and you'll get parallax. I've checked this on my GT and the speedo reads what the cruise control is set to.

I realize I'm slightly off-center, but I'm not quite sold on that yet. I'll check it out on the way home tonight.

Fun at Sebring about to begin

Removed my passenger side catch can on my ecoboost, I drained it, not a single drop came out. Figure it can find a new home. put oem tube back on and listed on Facebook marketplace for 150.

 

[Matthewstorm]

Yeah, just emptied mine yesterday. Lots on passenger side. Nothing on driver side. You should have had something.

 

[Elvis67]

He's got an Ecoboost.

I wonder who's got the 1st catch can for mach -e

Well, tested it out in the way home. At 65, both matched. At 85, 1st time was off, 2nd time was dead on. From the sitting straight up position in the driver's seat. I did lean to the right a bit, and I didn't see a significant change in the needle position. There was a slight change, just not a one to match what I saw the other day. Just one of those quirky things.
