Changing gears-affect speedometer??
Was thinking of putting 3.42 gears. How much? How difficult? And will my speedo be off?

Not much, not hard, and yes your speedo will be off, unless you get a new speedo gear or different sized tires to make up for the difference.

Cost would prob be under $500 for a pro to set the gears and the gears. For the speedo yes it will change the speed reading. Look on the frequently asked questions section for the right speedo gear for your axle change.

It will affect your odometer as well.
