Speedo wrong, but is that all?

Re: Speedo wrong, but is that all?
Ok, so after some more dabbling, it's a safe bet the speedo gear was WAY
wrong... for a 3.07 gear ratio with tires that were somewhere between 28 and
29 inches, the charts I have found say I should have maybe a 29 tooth gear
in there. Or maybe a 30, it just sort of depends on whose chart I consult.
However, there was a 37 tooth gear in there! I have NO idea why that would
be. I do think the transfer case was probably swapped during the repair,
since the normal patina of filth covering everything else seems to stop at
exactly all the edges of the transfer case. But why this gear was in
there... that one just escapes me.
Does anyone know if it'd be possible to do a transfer case swap and actually
put on a case meant for a smaller engine, thus creating reliability
problems? I hope not, because it would mean all that's left to do now is
order the correct gear. Thanks again, everyone!

perhaps someone had bigger tyres on before they sold it to you.

That would be off the chart at:
http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoSpeedoGears.htm More likely the transfer
case came from a Jeep with 3.73s and stock tires.

Use a GPS for your spedometer. Much more accurate.
