Speedo question

My truck is a 5spd and inside of door tire size says 215/85 .Truck has 3.55 gears. I installed some 235/85s which are i think about 2inches taller than stock. Is there a speedo gear i can change to correct tire size? Sure does ride better now.

Both my 98s I had to have the dealer do by computer.
Gone are the gears

You can still get speedo gears. Try calling randys ring and pinion. The other route is to buy a true speed from super lift.

Yeah you can get speedo gears......but not for a 2002 Ram 2500. Pinion factor needs to be set by the dealer with the drb scan tool. Have the "Revolution Per Mile" number handy when you go in. You can get that info where you bought your tires.

A 2500 wouldn't have those wee little tires.

I assume he's referring to the 98 3500 in his sig.

....and you'll still have probs finding a "speedo gear" for a 98
