hmmm....i think thats a felony? tampering with the readings on an odometer could def end up in jail time, and if someone say bought your truck from you and found out, they more than likely would sue...i mean what if you bought a truck that said 80k miles but really had 120k? just a thought for ya

are you for real? come on now, does that mean you could to jail for having tires that are worn down because that also throws off your odometer! for a differance of 40 k like you mention you would have to have 44" tires, if you buy sequioa that had 44 inch tires on it and your worried about the odometer reading you have some serious issues and should be in jail!

no, but if you went to say a 35" tire from stock...then your odometer would be 10.21% off...so every 9k miles you would actually be putting 10k miles on the truck...so if you did this to a brand new the truck and kept that size tire the entire life of it, it would say 90k but would actually have 100k miles...thats a whole year of driving for some people, tire wear isnt going to affect it much, but going from a 32" tire to a 35" without recalibrating the odometer could cause for some trouble...the likely hood of you every getting in trouble for it is slim, but is it worth the risk?

and thats what should be used if you do that radical of a change in tire size, but thats just my opinion...i mean i wouldnt want to buy a truck that had a lot more miles on it than the odometer showed, but to each his own....a service tech would prob do it for free if you slipped him 10 bucks
