1997 GMC Sierra 4X4 Speedo question?

Hello all,

I just bought this truck last Friday, the truck has the stock tire size on it 245/75R16 on it. The speedometer reads 7 miles per hour faster then the truck is actually going. Would this be the speed sensor going bad? No check engine light and the truck runs great.

Thanks,
Sellncars

Not usually.
First thing get it on a engine/transmission capable scanner and check the MPH reading in scanner with the speedometer reading.

It is possible that the previous owner had been running a bigger tire and had the ecm reprogrammed.
