Cant adjust tire settings

I have had my gryphon for almost a year what a great investment, I just did a leveling kit and some 35 inch tires and wanted to adjust for my speedo but when I go into that option I get an error message that it requires an update or something like that.

Is there a way to fix this myself or do I need new custom tunes?

I would talk to Bill before updating anything. I would not risk wiping out the custom tune.

Please include your year make and model when asking questions about your truck.

I was told that tire size could not be calibrated through the computer till 99 ym. So, without knowing the info above, you can get the wrong info... To make it easier, just go and update your profile info and it will automatically post in the top right corner.

Good Luck!

Squish depends on how stiff the sidewalls are. It ranges from 3% to 5%, generally. do the farmula and multiply the result by 95% and start there.
