I went from 265/70/16s to 265/75/16s on my '01 Dak. According tire
calculator my speedo is off about 4 mph @ 70mph. That's not too big of
a deal, but it sucks that my overhead computer shows about 2mpg less
now. I was hoping to know the true mpg with my new, bigger, heavier
tires.
I went to North Star Dodge (San Antonio) and they said it would cost
$68. I told them I thought it should be less as it should only take 5
min or so. She said they have to charge a full hour of labor, so I said
see ya.
I then drove to Fiesta Dodge (San Antonio). At first they guy told me
it couldn't be changed, then he said I need to come back with the
revolutions per mile and it would cost $69. He said the process takes
about an hour. Again, see ya.
I called Crenwelge Motors (Kerville, where I bought the truck). They
said they have to plug in the DRB, drive the truck with it plugged in,
then spend time programming.
I had read on another newsgrougp (can't remember which one) that someone
had this done for $30-$35 bucks. Anyone have advice for me?
Sorry for the somewhat long post.
Vic
