Tire size

Yes, they have different calibrations, that can be recalibrated using a tech2 scan tool. My 03 originally had 265/70/16 tires. I went to 17 inch wheels with 265/70/17 tires and with tech2 my neighbor has recalibrated tire size in the software. I just got new 18" wheels and upgraded to 265/65/18. The difference in size was so minimal that I haven't recalibrated.

Obviously the dealer could recalibrate for you, but I'm sure they charge way to much. Check out any local shops that may be able to do it. Takes all of 5 minutes to do.

Awesome thanks, got a buddy that has a tech 2 I think

I wonder if that will work on mine. I had my truck tuned by blackbear and he tried to change the tire size and it didn't like it. Something with the traction control wigged out everytime he tried to change it and put the truck in limp mode...

Does anyone know if any other scanners besides Tech2 would set this? It wanting a programmer just to do this...
