Last Wednesday I brought my 98 4x2 Auto to get the PCM reprogrammed as I had
changed from 235/75-15 tires to 255/65-15 tires. The mechanic told me that
he couldn't reprogram the PCM as they are individually configured at the
factory for a specific tire size. To correct for the new tire size he told
me I would need to buy a new PCM module for that tire size. He even took
the reprogramming device to my truck to try it out and still couldn't
reprogram it. Is this true? Has anyone actually had their PCM reprogrammed
for a different tire size?

I had changed the speedo-gear to match the setup I have (Differential
Gears/Tire combination). Otherwise, no PCM change required on my truck.

Hey, thanks to all of you that gave me some input about this whole tire
thing. Every bit helps.
Bernd, thank you for your more detailed experiences. I guess it's off to
find some wheels.......but, not a whole lot of selection out there!!!
Actually think that the only 3.75 backspaced wheel I even saw on various
mfg's sites was the style that you have ---hell, I don't want to be a copy
cat!! ;>
Did you need to make any adjustments to the PCM.
I'm lifting it primarily to get some decent clearance when I haul the
bikes out to the desert----that's why I'm not doing a body lift.
Thanks again to all for your input,
Ken H.
