But according to my FSM, rear end gearing as well as wheel size are all
input by the CAB to the PCM to determine speedo reading. That's why the CAB
needs to be programmed when your rear end gearing changes and/or your wheel
size (overall diameter) changes.

SHouldn't have to have anything adjusted at all. From '98 on up, there's no
speedo-gear in the transmission and no calibration required. We went from
3.55:1 to 4.10:1 on my buddys '98 Sport (5.2L/Auto) and the speedo is still
accurate.

Next mod: Has anyone on the list had this done? This probably only affects
the newest Daks, 99's 00's 01's, at least for this type of updating. This
Wednesday, I'm going to have my diff. changed from 3.55 to either 3.92 or
4.10. I've been doing the calculations to determine how much top end I'll
be losing by going the different routes. Anyway, since Dodge is not the one
doing the modification I am assuming I will have to have the RWAL CAB
reprogrammed for the gearing change. This will have to be done at the
dealer because it requires a DRB III scan tool. Has anyone had this done
before? Cost (just the reprogramming)? TIA all.
