My 2500 has 18 inch wheels. From the factory, for 18 inch wheels, the truck comes with 265-70's. Looking for the best traction in the snow and to plow. I understand narrower/taller tires are best in snow. If I were to move up to a slightly wider 275 -70 would my traction and handling in snow be noticeably worse? The tire will be a mild AT rated for snow duty.

  Any decent scan tool will have cruise condition inhibit parameters displayed either in ECM or BCM data. This can help you isolate why its not working.

  Your refrigerant is low. Your symptoms all highlight this. Whether you have an actual leak or have just lost the original charge over the years (about .2-.3 oz per year decay is a thing) remains to be seen. You can connect a gauge set to verify, but you'll really need to evacuate, recharge and monitor for a leak.

  Ain't nobody got time for that. The code numbers are sufficient. Google, service info, Chiltons, will all easily elaborate on the definitions. Anyone thats been working on cars for a hot minute will know these very common, as well as global OBD standard, codes with not much else given. You have a wiring issue, as P0449 is a circuit fault. Focus on finding that, and the other two DTCs which are rationality based, will likely be resolved too.

  Definitely worth flipping through the manual just for those oddball scenarios, even if you think you know your car inside and out.
