Tell your dealer to go suck an egg. This is a 99 Dak we're talking about
and the information comes from the rear wheel sensor that measures
revolutions per mile based on the diameter of a wheel (tire included). The
CABS counts them and send the information to the PCM. There is a table in
the CABS that has the tire/wheel diameters that are able to be used. The
dealer will have to pick the closest to what you have. Pinion gear in the
tranny??? BWAHAHAHAHA. Hope you don't take your truck there to be serviced.

ok i asked my dealer about this and he says it has
nothing to do with the computer he says to fix the
gauge they would have to replace the pinion gear in
the tranny??? well the info from the pinion to the
gage is sent electronicly through the computer (i have
a chrysler corp service manual for my truck right
here) it even says that it has to be hooked to this
DRB scan tool im gonna call the other two dealers and
see if they can tell me something
