Default Speedometer went out

Well this weekend i was visting relatives in Mexico and had a couple of races and what i did notice is that after wards my speedometer was not working, when i was in a complete stop the speedomet was at 50 and sometimes at 60, I do have warranty on the truck bearly has 23K miles and its a 2004, my question is would i need to take in my truck so they can program it back to stock. I also taught there was like a little pin or something that would not let the needle go past 120 but it sure enough went all way to where the 1(shift gear) is at. I need to fix this asap i dont want another speeding ticket right now.

It would be best if you got the stock tunning back on before taking it to the stealership. If you don't... they will probably reflash your truck's computer and erase the HPtunning. Then you'll have to pay again to get it retuned.

Hope the speedo gets fixed soon.

btw, did you win any races?

yeah i raced against and 05, ith a few mods and got him by like 2 trucks, and also a 2004 like mine and got him by a few cars, dont know the mods. Also there was this annoying kid in a for 4.6 that he wanted to race for money, didnt wanna ripp him off, but i had a hard time seeing him thru my rear view mirror.
I need to take it in to Agressive so they can take the tunning off,

went to mexico this past weekend too, ran my truck once right when I got there, then I went to park it and this guy came and told me "hey you want to race that mustang"??? I was like which one?? it was a ~97-98GT 4.6 5or6speed??? I said ok well since I have no e/t's I spun quite a bit and he got the jump by about 1.5cars, then once I shifted into second I just cruised right by him like nothing and put about 1.5cars on him by the quarter... weird thing I only ran a 15.5??? it was about 2pm and it was hot but I think the air or too much humidity was real bad that day.... or the measuring device in mexico is messed up!!
