Didn't I just answer this? You don't need to do anything. Changing rear
end gears on 98-01's have no effect on the speedometer. Only if you change
the wheel/tire diameter does it affect it.

I think that it's done electronically on Dak's '98 to current...the dealer
can reset it for you..Bernd knows more about that I think...
