Re: Speedometer gear shaft
Dodge trucks use the same gears as the Jeep TJ. I forget what I needed to
correct my TJ's speedo, but the Dodge gear did the trick. (It was, however,
more expensive than the Jeep gear, but at least it had the right tooth count.)

Re: Speedometer gear shaft
I ran into the same problem. Just got the 31s and
I have the 3.07 gears.
Wanted the 27 tooth, but Jeep doesn't make it.
I went with the 28 tooth as a 'close enough' solution.
I haven't had a chance to check it via GPS or anything
yet (I've only had it installed for one week), but
It apears to be pretty close.

I'm afraid that I can and for some reason that scares me. Some where there is
some bean counter working on the CAFE standards, saying if we lower the RPM
we'll get better gas milage.
