Setting Tire Size with tuner

bump

What are people using to set the tire size in their PCMs? I'm runing 33's and everything is off about 15%. I know the and mileage will be wrong, but does it cause any other trouble to run with the wrong tire size? Dose the transmission care? This is a 2005 HPCR 5.9l with 48RE.

you can go to the dealer and get recalabrated for the new tire size.

If you know any mechanics with the Sun or Snap on scan tools they can also set for tire size in the ABS section. A local diesel shop set mine with their Snap on scan tool when I added the 19.5 tires to my truck. I try and stay away from the Dodge dealers when ever possible.

You're the guy with the cummins swap right on another thread?



I'd stay away from dodge as said by JP and go find someone with a scan tool that can fix you up. I think dodge requires $85 (what i was quoted) and they can't even get it right since they are limited on options I've heard.
