chicofuentes0224 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 If I'm running 31 x 10.5 x 15. Where's a good place to get one. Oh it's 3.55 gears. AW4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 According to my calculation, you need a 32 tooth gear, but they have been discontinued through Chrysler. The part number is J3212732. I can still get a 33 tooth, but that is likely going to be off by about 3 MPH.

I'm just trying to get it right so I can figure how many miles I'm getting to the gallon. If we went with the 33 tooth, do you have any idea how far my calculations would be off for MPG?

Eagle Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Taz, I don't care too much about the MPH. I'm just trying to get it right so I can figure how many miles I'm getting to the gallon. If we went with the 33 tooth, do you have any idea how far my calculations would be off for MPG? Keep in mind that the factory typically lists each speedo gear for two or three tire sizes, so they usually aren't exact. My wife's 2000 XJ is absolutely stock, but the speedo reads 2 MPH fast at around 40 MPH, which translates to a 5% error. I've checked that multiple times going through those police radar trailers they like to use around here. Okay, you need a 32-tooth but you can only get a 33. The gear we replace is the driven gear. 32 teeth *should* be one revolution but yours needs 33, so it will read slower than actual speed by 1/32, which is approximately 3 percent. In other words, when you have gone 33 miles your odometer will only show 32. When you're driving 33 MPH your speedo will show 32. At 66 MPH your speedo will show 64. That's actually closer than my wife's XJ, but in the other direction, so you should keep the needle pretty close to the posted limit to avoid tickets. I always prefer to have the speedo read a bit fast rather than a bit slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
