I put 34" tires on my new truck and now it's 4-5 mph off. From what I can see, the only thing that might work with the 2024 model is the Rough Country speedometer calibration. Can anyone confirm if it will work?

 

I would have liked a Pulse LT but apparently they don't have one for my model... which isn't great. I want to adjust the TPMS warning and I probably have no way of doing it.

I can answer my own question: No, it doesn't work with 2024 models. Hopefully in the future. It looks like for now I have to remember to adjust the speed in my head.

 

A few days ago I was driving about 10% over the speed limit, but I had forgotten to add a few additional miles to my speed. Sure enough, I saw a cop measuring the speed of traffic right in my direction. Exactly at that moment it dawned on me that I was more than 10% over the limit because of the tires. First a quick mental "F@$k!" and then resignation... Fortunately, he was after bigger fish.

I hear you. I kept the wheels and tires from my 23 2.7L Turbo when I traded it for my 23 5.3L V8. They're 275/60R20's. The factory wheels and tires on my 5.3 were originally 255/70R17's, so there's now about a 3.7mph increase at 70mph with the bigger wheels. I set my cruise at 70 and know I'm probably safe, but that's at the trooper's discretion. But, it's so easy to find myself doing 75 on the speedo, and that would probably not be good if I'm clocked.

 

I asked the dealership about a recalibration and they said they don't do them, even with 22" wheels. Don't know if they were just blowing smoke or not, but I've learned to be aware of it, and careful.

You have a 2023? Not sure what model you have, but the Rough Country calibrator is supposed to work with 2023's.

 

I check regularly the Rough Country calibrator site in the hope that someday I'll see that 2024's were added to the list.

Yeah, '23. I'll check on the calibrator. I was hoping that Range would be able to figure out the '23 and up BCM so that I could defeat the DFM at the same time. No luck so far.

I just got off the phone with HyperTech support (800-352-3351). He said it’s the only Speedo recalibration tool for a 2022 through 2026 GM truck (Chevy or GMC). The part number is the inline HyperTech 77100 unit, currently $899.   it is the same unit sold by rough country and summit, etc...  corrects odometer and speedo along with Trans shift pints.  He said it does not require removal when taking your truck to a dealer for service because it is an inline and installs under the hood as per the install instructions. It takes about 30 minutes to install for anyone once the controller is updated and programed from a PC for the tires used on the truck.

100% beg do differ being in the dealer environment.  Many devices like this end up on the data lines that GM uses to communicate between modules, and those lines are also important during vehicle programming.  They most definitely can and have interfered with vehicle programming for sure.

    • On 2021 3500hd it consistently sets automatically when selecting park if the incline/decline is above a certain angle. 
    • Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks. 
    • Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions? 
    • 2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!  
    • Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
