Speedometer

How do I adjust my speedometer to read acurately with 35 inch tire on my truck, I am sure it is not far off but would like it to right on.

Take it to your dealer they can reprogram down to 600 rev's per mile, so you will need to know that info. about your 35's.

Ok two question, I am sure it is as simple as knowing the diameter and how many times it turns in a mile but is there a simpler way to figure it out? 35x12.5 with 18" rims. My second question is since I see you here alot and you help with this site, why can't I post info about my truck like pics and info you guys have?

You'll have to just make a few more posts/replies that's all. I don't know how many exactly but it took me a couple days.

I think it's stated at 25 posts or so, just keep checking your "USER CP", for posting pics you can use photobucket and link to in your post, or you can become a supporter and post directly. For the tire ? Go to the mfr's website and you should be able to get the revs/mile info. Here's an example of what to look for:

in "user cp" go to the bottom left and click on paid subscriptions, or just click on the "supporter" flag next to my name. I paid for a 3 year as the money it cost has already been saved by means of the time I have saved from help and info. available on this site.

Tire RPM = 20,178/diameter or 63360/circumference

FYI a 35x12.5R18 is not necessarily 35-inches in diameter.
