Question for UK drivers

Q: roy wrote budd cochran wrote you get a 239 cubic inch v-6 in a 4000+ pound vehicle and you want it to do 0-60 in less than a heartbeat . . . easy fill the back end with nitroglycerine and slam the liftgate. i find myself wondering which is the more stupid you for buying an underpowered for your needs apparently vehicle or me for wanting to ask you what the heck were you thinking for not considering it could be underpowered for what you need it to do. you might look for a better computer chip a some kind of supercharger there was one advertised in the group the other day or a vehicle with the engine you really need in it. so the cummins owners cant be too bright either. theyre always looking for more they should have bought 5-ton trucks. why i can get a hell of a lot more out of mine. do you have any idea how detuned these engines are apparently not. i just reread my previous post it was a lot harsher than intended sorry. these cummins have gobs of room for horsepower increases. i believe with the smarty program you can pick up in the area of 60 additional horsepower. im not bashing cummins. but leon just bought a dodge and asked a couple nice questions and said thank you and then... im sure budd is rereading his post too. .

thanks for the input......i really dont care about the speedo.......i dont really drive all that fast anyway but my main concern was that they dont affect anything important....and youre right they will fill out the wheel wells a lot better than those little 245s.....one last question; i also have the stock rims and ive heard that some tire stores will tell you that they wont put a larger tire on a stock rim....is there any precautions with that or is it just a tire dealer preference thanks for helping me out.... charlie the oc 9dodgefan wrote i have a 94 ram 1500 4x4 with bfgoodrich 285-75r-16 mud terrain which are great tires by the way. yes going with bigger tires will throw off your speedometer reading so you should have it adjusted by a shop i think its the law although that choice is left to you. i havent had any issues with gearing or transmission problems but the bigger tires give slower acceleration if you care about that and add weight and are less aerodynamic assuming you will be getting tires with an aggressive tread. on the plus side they look awesome and fill out the wheelwells better and make the truck sit up higher. cjc1200@gmail.com wrote i currently have lt245-70-r-16 on the truck....i saw another truck the same model and year with lt285-75r-16..........will using a slightly larger tire mess up gearing or affect the transmission automatic or rear diff thanks charlie the oc .
