Tires
I want to replace the stock tires on my crew. I was wondering if larger tires will void my warranty. I want to put on 265/75r16. I have 255's and am wondering how much will my speedo be off?

dakota,
My wheels and tires were bought through the Dealer's aftermarket department. They also had a few new trucks on the lot where the dealership had already installed different wheels with larger tires. So, if they are a reasonable size I don't see how they could void the warranty.

You may wish to think about a SuperChip that would not only calibrate the speedo, but could give more HP and better shifting. Check out the computer chips board.
Mike seems to be very helpful in that regard. My SuperChip will be bought as soon as I get financial clearance from the the CPA wife.
