reading. The speedometer is "geared" to suit the diff. You should feel better acceleration but find higher rpms for a given highway speed.

You could swap in a 3.0 speedo, but the type for the numerals on the face differs slightly. Also, these speedos have plastic gears that tend to wear, so it might be just as well to send your speedo to someone like Hollywood Speedometer and have them adjust it to the new gearing (assuming you decide to stick with the 3.64s).
