Thanks for the help. The dodge dealership gave me the wrong one (way to big, 59
teeth instead of the 38 toothed one I ordered) so I had to go back get the right
one, but everything's good now.
I'm glad the speedometer works now 'cause the other day I raced a riced out Honda
on the street and looked down and I was going 80 in a 30 when I actually was only
going around 65. If you wanna know, I smoked his ass hardcore!

Later,

powertrax locker, and more stuff...

a bolt kinda off to the side.

remove that bolt. unconnect the harness concector, pull out the speedo gear
(watch out, a little tranny juice might slip out!) pull the other speedo
gear out, put the new one in and reinstall. no more than a 5 minute job. I
did it in 3 minutes in the parking lot at school (very early) and my truck is
lowered. which made it VERY harder to get it.

 trying to find out where it goes. I'm pretty sure it goes in the
 transmission, but where? Instead of spending $30 to have the Dodge
 dealer install it I thought I'd try.
     Can someone tell me where exactly it goes and how I replace the
