Odometer Discrepancy - Tire Size????
For X owners....keep in mind that you didn't start with 32s. i jumped from 29.3 inches to 34.8 which makes for a large difference
Here were my calculations:
Stock tire size - 225/75/16 - 29.3 diameter; 92.049 circumference
BFG tire size - 35/12.50/15 - 34.8 diameter; 109.327circumference
(109.327-92.049) / (92.049) = 18.77%
Then the easiest way to calculate your real mileage or real MPH is:
Mileage x 1.1877 = Actual Mileage
MPH x 1.1877 = Actual MPH

I just wish the 4.10 option was still there...they dropped it after the '07's
...and this just shows how much I need a refresher course in mathematics, haha.
Good info. If I upgraded to bigger tires I definitely would forget about the adjustments in MPG, distance traveled and the actual speed i'm travelling.
I may have to stick to stock for awhile

That's correct sir. I also added dual tops, and other options.
S Package IIRC gave me the 255/75/17's, and some other stuff.
I clicked the $50 box to get 3.73's instead of 3.21 diffs.
I went from the stock 32's to 305/70/16's - I've checked mine against 3 different GPS units and at 60mph on the speedo, it shows 60mph on the GPS. At 75, it shows 75... On all three GPS units (Garmin, TomTom, and Magellan) So I am guessing I just corrected the factory tolerance...
I also register 60mph on the roadside radar units when traveling at 60mph on the speedo.
Not sure if it would hold up if Chrysler were to question it, but I am confident with my speed.

That happend on another truck I had, the damn thing read high, I upped the tire size, and it read correctly...all due to the original factory variation.
