So I recently switched from 4.10 to 3.55 in the rear and finally got around to the speedo gear swap yesterday.
But it doesn't read really at all. Under 25mph it doesnt read and at 80mph it reads 40-45 at best but vacillates pretty wildly the while time.
I took it out to reinstall it and nothing changed, tried it a 3rd time and nothing better.
I can say the gear itself is already worn and has a little dish to it after just two days driving to work, 17 miles each way. But the dish is like a nickel only 1/16" deep, far less than the gears should be meshing, right?
My old OEM gear was perfect all day every day. It was 19 tooth. I did math and figured my gear to be right between 16 tooth and 17, so I did the 16.
The new gear was off of Ebay but has the same stamp as the gear that came on my rig. "LEM" or something.
What am I missing guys?
Thanks,
Joshua
