Ordered my rims and tire's today. American Racing Black Mojave Teflon coated and 285/75R16 BFG AT KO. I called the stealer to get a price on adjusting the speedo = $70, does this sound reasonable or should I be looking elsewhere and if so where should I look. Thanks.
 
It sounds like they are charging you labor to adjust the speedo with a Tech II. If that's all that you want, and do not have access to a programmer or EFI Live, I suppose that it is a fair price.
 
Mick, good choice in wheels and tires. That mirrors mine. Also, I wouldnt pay $70 to have the speedo adjusted. That seems like alot. You're not running a programmer? They're worth their weight in gold in times like this when you could save yourself $70.
 
Be sure to put up some pics....

After seeing CtChevy427's truck, it seems that I have developed the "itch"...

I thought you would like them. I went with the teflon caps, I see yours are chrome. I want EFI live but don't have the coin at this point. I'm still looking around for some one to do it for less.

Will do but I will wate untill my black covers come in, there back ordered the rest should be in next week. Nick has me itching for a tuner now.
 
It cost me $35 at one dealership to have my speedo updated for my winter tires (LT245-75R-16E -> LT235-85R-16E) and it cost me nothing to have it reverted a week ago when I put the summer tires back on, different dealer. It literally takes 5 minutes with a Tech2.

Thanks for the info, trust me I am not bashful I will confront the stealer and it helps to be able to give examples of cheaper rates. I'll let you know how I make out.
 
Installations Unlimited called today, my rims and tires are in but they are waiting on the caps. Hopefully I can get them on Monday.
 
Mine were supposed to come with the black center caps too but they made a mistake and they came with the chrome ones instead. Once I saw them on there, I was glad because I liked it right away.

Scheduled to mount on Wednesday, they told me that they shipped with chrome caps that they will switch out when the black ones come in.
 
I used to run Teflon Mojaves w/ the black caps on my old 6.0 Vortec. Green truck with black rims. I loved the look. You're gonna do the same I bet. Great wheels!!
I went a little different this time and ordered a set of black KMC Enduro's. They've been on about a 90 day backorder. Apparently the factory had to do a whole new production. No one in the country seemed to have them 3 months ago when I ordered. Weird, but I guess it was true. Should almost be ready. I'm excited to see them on this black truck.

I talked to the stealership today and asked why it was so much? The manager went and talked to the tech. and came back with a price of $32. Thanks for the info, it sure helps to have some ammo when talking to these guys.

:thumbsup: Glad I could help. I had to lean a little to get two of my transmission lines warrantied.

Our local dealer won't re-program our computer for the tires. Time for a Tuner!!!

One dealer said no, another had never done it before and two others wanted one hrs labor. The dealer I bought the truck from came through after I had the talk about the price. Oh yea I also had one dealer tell me the only way it could be done was with an after market tuner.:eek:
 
Picture's are from my phone, I'll post better ones when the black cap's come in.

Look great Mick. We share the same taste but it looks really good with your color. I like the center caps in chrome better than black. It gives it something to look at.
