This is a website that helped me determine what speedo gear to change to. I hope this helps.

Re: How close is your speedometer?

mine is about 2 mph fast.. for example, I was doing 36-37 according to my speedo and my town has a speed trap thingy that tells you how fast your going and I was going 35..

Did it with my Blazer, speedo and GPS reading are now within 1%
