Yes, your speedometer will be off now that you changed the rear gear. It's an easy fix though to change the speedometer gear. Remove the bolt by your speedo cable at the trans and pull out the gear. Count the teeth on the gear and go to GM and buy the correct one.........I'm not sure which one you need though.
