New gears ?

I know that going from 308-411 gears will have an affect on my speedometer, But would it affect my odometer? It seems to be counting up quicker. I need to do A test.

Re: New gears ?

yes, the odometer is run off the speedo. If you went from a 3.08, to a 4.11, then you will rack up the miles quicker. If you are doing 65 MPH, and your speedo says you are doing 100 MPH, then in that hr of travel, your odometer will rack up 100 miles.
