2014 HDI SE. I ordered mine new and they sent it with the 8.4 (not what I ordered!) and I hated it!!! I had them change it to the standard 6.4 and like everything about it now!!! I can go 35kmh bear foot on flat road now, with Escargo tracks I get 22-25kmh. With the 8.4 I was always revved right to the max and getting nowhere. With the 6.4 I still never need to use low range even In rough or steep hilly conditions.

Same here...mine came with 8.4 which I did not order...odg sent me the 6.4 and we did the swap..I was able to drive both and the 6.4 is for me..way more than enough power.

Verify speed with GPS. My speed went from 21 to 15 between trips. Checked GPS and speed was really 21. Speedometer needed a recalibration. Don't know why but easy to recalibrate. Did your display go blank at any time? That would be an indication for a recalibration.

How did you reset the speedometer?

[bakedalaskan]

Calibrating the Digital Gauge Package
1. Hold down both the “MODE” and “KM/MILE” buttons and turn the key to “Run” (release
buttons) Two (2) “Horizontal” bars on water temp. must be flashing for Avenger
setup.
NOTE
If no “ Horizontal” bars are flashing after step 1, press “KM/MILE” button directly (and
release) until they do.
3. Avengers - press “MODE” (and release)
Frontiers - press “KM/MILE” to eliminate the 2 flashing “Horizontal” bars first, then press
MODE (and release).
4. 001 will be flashing in bottom left corner, press “KM/MILE” to change to 002, prpress
“MODE”
5. 25.0 will be flashing, keep pressing “KM/MILE” to change:
• 23.6 for 8x8 HDi with Argo Tires (25”)
• 20.4 for 8x8 with Frontier tires (24”)
• 21.2 for 8x8 Avenger with Rawhide III \ Argo tires (25”)
• 19.2 for 6x6 with Rawhide III \ Argo tires (25”)
• 22.0 for 6x6 & 8x8 Frontiers with Argo tires (24”)6. Press “MODE” once number
is reached.
7. A third number will flash
(for tachometer calibration).
Press “KM/MILE” to
change to:
013 For all Avenger Models
(Kohler Engines)
010 For all Frontier Models
(Briggs Engines)
8. Press “MODE” once number
is reached.
9. A single digit will be displayed,
turn key to off position
and run vehicle as usual
NOTE*** these directions may have the mode-KM/miles keys reversed after step 3. Once you try it you will be able to figure it out.
Good luck

Awesome info Bakedalaskan! I have compared my speedo with my GPS and so far so good. I did print off the calibration info and put in my owners manual. Using that info I might play around with it when I have my tracks on and try to get the speedo and gps reading the same.
