If you change your rear end ratio, tire size, etc, give your local Dodge
dealership a call and tell them you need to order a new speedometer gear. He
will ask for tire mfg, size, dimensions, wheel size, gearing, etc.. so have
all that info ready.

This little plastic gear is under $20, and two bolts hold it in. FWIW, I
changed mine at the dragstrip in the dirt with a crescent wrench and didn't
lose enough fluid to make any difference.
