Re: Frankentruck
Today I swapped out the 22 tooth driven gear for a 21 tooth gear in an attempt to make my speedo more accurate. Unfortunately, the 21 tooth gear just bounced around for a little bit, and now it almost never moves. I've driven the truck 10 miles at the most since I changed the gear.
I had used TCI's calculator and used a 8 tooth drive gear for the calculation. I thought I had counted 8 teeth on the drive gear, but now I'm not too sure. Should I make a new calculation with a 7 tooth drive gear, and purchase that driven gear with the hope that I will be right this time? Or should I stick the 22 tooth gear back in that I know works, but it runs 5 mph slow?
