   Nothing could be easier, sort of.  There is a switch on the back of the
dashboard which controls this.  It was designed in because at the time U.S.
speedometers could only go up to 85 while other countries, such as Canada,
had no such law.  You will have to pull the dashboard and give this switch
a flip to get your +85 speedo back.
