: I didn't change the speedo "re-calibrate". I watched them change everything out. I went to DTD as a few here have (same place I did the '89 suburban). It took them 4hrs. I watched them the whole time.
: : : : Changed the rear from 3:73 to 4:10. What a difference! No rpm change at all. Still 2300 @ 80mph. Would do it again... DriveTrainDirect.com did a great job as always (They did my other suburban).

: : : If no rpm and speedo change and the same tire dia, then you got ripped off...it's the same gear ratio.

: : This is assuming you had the speedo re-calibrated. You did right?
: : Otherwise any change in diff gearing will still have the speedo & tack read exactly the same, as they are reading it "before" the diff.
