AWESOME ride, Mega Cab and All.


here is my latest purchase, Finally stepped back into a Big truck

2010 2500 crew Hemi 4wd . rolling on 20's

Never seen one in that colour.
When you went to 20s are they the same height tyre ?
Or is there a way to recalibrate the speedo?

the OEM tires where 17,  the original selling dealer put on these 20's, so they are about 2 inches taller, plus this has the 2 inch lift kit, 
as for the calibration, it will depends on the trucks computer. Odd part with mine being a 2500 the only pinion setting we can see and adjust are for the 17 wheel NO 20 inch setting like the 1500's have.  So this may be predetermined by the factory.

added some factory decals and non factory stripes.

The largest tire size that can be programmed from factory on 2500-3500 trucks is the 33's that the power wagon comes with. If your 20's have the same revs per mile that those do you should be ok to have programmed at a dealer. An aftermarket programmer may also be used to correct if more adjustment needed.

I had one of my techs hook it up once i bought it and he set it to the largest setting and I'm running 4.5 faster than the speedo.

Awesome truck, congrats!  I've looked at bascially the exact same truck but can't make up my mind if I really need one or just want one.  Trouble is my current Tundra 4x4 is already too big for many of the parking decks in downtown Atlanta where I occasionally have to go, so it would be for local driving & towing if I got one.  That's what has me looking at a more mid-sized car, that and gas efficiency.  A truck like yours is worth keeping for a long time though, so if I ever get one I'd only have to buy one.

It gets picked up from the Missouri dealership on Feb 26th and trucked to South Bay Truck Tops in California on 5th May for canopy fitup.

Sooo.....if any of you just happen to see it in transit by chance....let us know!!! :2thumbs:
