I've just bought my 1st diesel and was hoping someone could enlighten me on something. It has a 6" lift and 35's on it, how can I figure out how much my speedo and odomiter is off? Also, how many mpg's will I typ. loose with this lift and tire combo?

Thanks,
Mike

Your speedo will differ depending on your speed. At 60, mine was about 8 MPH off. Your DIC will be wrong as well. Hand calculate you mileage and you should be fine.

Yes, you will have traveled farther than it says, which is good if you have a warranty on it.
