I fail to see what this has to do with the OPs question. 

He wants to correct his speedometer, not hear your irrelevant experiences. 

 

Go to the Avalanche forum.

Shoot he got his answer on the first page. It's the middle of the winter, just had an ice storm, now a dense fog advisory until tomorrow. Every thread goes off the rails on every forum I'm on (I'm on a few) this time of the year. Can't do anything so rambling is rampant. 😉

Then, if they did it, you'd complain about the cost which would be a 1 hour minimum charge ($125/hr now?) to create the RO, get the truck out of the lot, pull it in actually do the programming, get it

Yep and I'm sure it would be the case for 99%+ on here.

Bingo lol.  More like $165-245 for that hour nowadays.

I was hoping it would bug you. And it is relevant info that very little should be done without checking with the dealer. Times have changed.

Get a life you are on here constantly with little to no information.  You are such a loser.

Spare us with your lame life experiences. 

Isn't it bingo night?

That is the tire size that is currently on the truck. I am not sure what these come with stock.

Isn't the factory tire size on the tire psi sticker on the door frame?

So you are saying dealers should be held to MSRP? Then how do you justify what the individuals got for theirs? It's OK for Joe Blow to make a killing with zero investment of property, buildings, equipment but not dealers? 

No one is forcing anyone to buy those specialty vehicles. Screenshot_20240124_124105_Chrome.thumb.jpg.5403a2f591f9d1bb64300c9efdb68aac.jpgifScreenshot_20240124_123842_Chrome.thumb.jpg.1e562ddf23ebd0b9839dd04cda8f7fa8.jpg

If that's what you got out of my post then you clearly struggle with reading comprehension.  I didn't say that at all.  You had to perform a lot of mental gymnastics to get to that conclusion.

Definitely not that size.  That's the same size I upgraded to on my Trail Boss.

You likely had 33's stock (275/60/20 or with 18's. You went up to 35's essentially.   Speedo should only be off 1-3mph at highway speed. Thats not much of a jump at all. Def not 10mph, nor enough to justify cost of anything to correct IMO.

 

at 70mph i am doing 72. I went from 33's to the same 35ish

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
