Tire Size Calibration for '06 w/ Starscan...HOW!!

I, like may others it would seem from searching this forum, am being told by my dealer I can not recalibrate my trucks tire size to 35" or 600 rpm using the new starscan tool. From my searches on this forum it would seem a few people HAVE somehow been able to get their tire size properly recalibrated...the question is how?

Can someone who knows walk through the steps required to do this using the starscan tool. If I can get this information I will pass it on to my dealer, and every other dealer in the phone book!

Do they have 315's in there tool? I think your only option is to pick the tire closest to what you are running. Hopefully more tires will show up in their tool in the near future.

They only list OEM sizes, so the largest size they list is what comes on the Power Wagon (about 33")

Question

don't know about the 06', but my 05' was done with the ob11 scaner and all they do is plug in the RPM's of the tire. I run 35/1250/20's. calibration done free at my dealer twice!

And that option no longer exist on the '06's. There is currently NO WAY for the dealer fix the revs per mile on an '06 to anything other than what's already listed(33"). It will have to be an aftermarket mod and no one seems to be having luck with that either. I just went and got a GPS, now I have road maps and mph. It works for me because I switch between 35's and 40's depending on what I'm doing.

Nobody's talking...

Well neither Chrysler, DCCTools, or Miller Special Tools (distributor) are talking, mums the word. I guess I'll have to get medieval on someones...

I may just have to look to superchips, or some other warranty voiding product.

I think I'll jump over to a Jeep board and see what they are saying...could you imagine Chrysler saying, "Sorry, you can't put 35" tires on your trailrated Rubicon, our pooder won't let you".

I think its just retarded that they took the option out. What would it hurt to leave it in there?
