If it's the auto and a '99, you're speedo is electronically controlled now.
You may just be about accurate with the change. (My buddies '98/auto had a
gear and tire change and his speedo was accurate without any other
modifications.)

Ya Bernd,
It is an auto; however, I want to avoid using any add on chips or modules.
Though, that wouldn't be the end of the world. See, my whole gig with
changing the rear end ratio is to get the driveshaft revs back upto where
they were w/ the stock tires so that the computer can continue on its
happy little way "as if nothing had happened" Is that a reasonable
expectation?
But, what the hell, if that won't get me real close on the speed
calibration, I just may have to go w/ the HT module ---------do tell!!

Regards,
Ken H.
