Your speedo and odo will read low by 3.7%. The new combination has a circumference of 102.99", the truck is calibrated for a circumference of 99.25". Your new diameter is 32.8"

When your speedo says you are going 25, you are actually going 25.9. when it says 40 you are going 41.4.

Depending on how tightly you watch your intervals for fluid changes, they will be off also. When your odometer says 3,000 you will have gone 3,111 miles.

Always, is there a webb site that tells you the changes to your fluids? I found one that only tells you how off your speedo is. I didn't know that the tire size also affects other items.

Not that I know of, I just did the math based on the two tire sizes we were talking about. Everything the car counts is based on rpm's, so changing the rolling diameter will throw off the counting process.
