Tire size?
What is the height on the original tires for our truck? I need to figure how far off my speedo/odometer is off.
Thanx, Krue

For starters, what size came on your truck? Mine came with 7.50-16s, which may be taller than your OEM tires. :p
This chart may help you... http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete...k/truksize.htm You can also clock a measured mile and use this chart http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete...o_accuracy.htm to determine your actual speed.

My first 72 3/4 4x4 Cheyenne came from the factory with 9-50/16.5 bias ply tires. I since changed to 235-85R/16's

Find a highway that has mile markers. Note the odometer as you pass one, run at least 10 miles(makes it easy) as you pass the 10th mile marker note the odometer( speed does not mater). If the odometer is 9.5 miles you are 5 percent to fast, If it is 11.5 you are 5 percent to slow find the gears for trany that will give you that change. The more mile markers you pass the more accurate it will be.
