Lifted '06 tire size and speedo calibration
Just to let you guys know. If you lift an '06 truck and plan on changing the rotations per mile to correct your speedometer, you will be out of luck. The New '06 PCM only gives about nine or so options for tire size the largest being on 275-70-17. Never even seen a 275-70-17 normally see 265-70-17. This is a new problem we will have to find a way around if you want the original speedo to be correct with larger than stock tires.

You have to go into the anti lock brake section and set the pinion factor.
The above mentioned thread probably goes into detail.

I have looked around with the StarScan and could not find anything other than the nine or so tire sizes. If you don't mind could someone walk me through the steps. Tried twice now to no avail.

When I had mine done on my 06 it was different then the 03 but when tech called me back I was watching and he was able to put in 285 70 17. I dont remember seeing different tires sizes to choose from he just put the size in and it took. He also disable seat belt chime and enable hi idle all at same time.
