1320 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I do if its a chevy. You also alter all the transmission shifting information when you change tires or gears. Shifting is done by speed and load. Changing the over all gear ratio (tire or gear) changes that load. Yes the map sensor sees it. I do dome others....also, but not many.

bp-guy Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Everything is computer comtrolled nowadays. Its not as easy as changing out a gear on the speedometer cable. If you have an aftermarket tuner you can do it in those, my edge programmer has that ability. If you have a friend that works at a dealer of your make of truck maybe they can plug into it with their scanner. I know Fords could do this back when I worked at a dealer. We could lower a car on airbags and reset the ride height to where they wanted it, so I believe they can tell the computer what size tires are on there and correct for the size change.

aseman Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Yes a power programmer or dealer scan tool will work. On some Borg Warner transfer cases you can change the speedo gear ring, or speed sensor gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
