Dafey,
Rather than try and explain it, I recommend you go to this link. It explains things pretty well and you can either use their tables to figure out what you need or use their math formula to figure it out:
http://www.transmissioncenter.net/speedometer_calibration_______va.htm
I think their prices are pretty high as I just bought a new driven gear from my local Chevy dealer and it was less than $6.00 and no shipping charge.
The drive gear is on the rear output shaft of the transfer case and the driven gear meshes with it and it is held in the speedometer gear housing.
The drive gears only job in life is to turn the driven gear and the driven gear causes the speedometer cable's inner shaft to rotate with it. Tire size, axle ratio, horsepower, etc. should not affect their life.

$27,000!!!!!!!!!!!!
for that you could have done a full resto with a big block, 4speed,205, and 1 tons..........................................
thats scary.......
over exaggerated on the parts cost but i will give it a try feel free to correct me if i miss judge prices
1. built 454,700r4,205 and 1 tons-----$6,000
2. full frame, body work and paint------$10,000
3. full interior with all power stuff-------$5,000
4. wheels and tires-----------------------$3,000
total-----$24,000
and i think i totaly over priced everything and included labor
or with how the economy is now you can almost get into an 07 2500hd 4x4 cc 6.0 for that price

They are very simple to change. You remove the cable, pull the bolt holding the circle clip into place, then pull the driven gear housing out. Pop the new one in and reverse the process. Overall it should take about ten minutes to replace a driven gear.
