& Subject: intro and 1st tech question
&
& greetings to all. i have been subscribing for about 6 months, and
& listening and learning. i have a 93 2wd extended cab with the 318 and
& auto setup, with a 3.55 sure grip rear end. i've added a k&n, jacobs
& done by the guy down the street for $90. and there is a clink in the
& driveline whern you back off and then accelerate, as in normal
& traffic. all i've got on that is: " they all do that." anyway the
They DO "all do that". The 5 speed 4WD combo is the worst, but they
all clunk when you take up the drive line slack.
& reason i wrote today; i just put new kelly springfield 275/60/r15
& tires on to replace the 245/60/r15 goodyear's that came on the truck.
& is there a speedometer gear change available, or does anyone have the
& math formula to allow me to compensate the difference in mph etc that
& my speedo is showing, so i can avoid unpleasant confrontations with
& the gendarmes? is the difference enough to worry about. any help
& appreciated. by the way, the kellys are great tires. i am mucho happy
& in that regard.
Stock tires for a 2WD where 215/75 which are 27.7" diameter. 245/60 are
26.6", 275/60 are 28". So your new tires should give much more accurate
speedometer readings than the old ones, unless somebody else already
changed the speedo gears (in the tail section of the transmission).
