Why don't you want to change the computer out? It's like a 5 minute job

Wheatley does offer a new service where you flash in your own tune via a rental tool of his. Ask him about it sometime.

its a new truck and I have two sets of tires and wheels one is bigger than other I want to change out often and dont want to have to send computer back every time. Ithink a handhend which is capable of chancing tire size would be better for me. Also not much on sending my computer on a truck I just spent 35000 on to anyone.

How much different are the two tire sizes from eachother? I don't know about spending $400 on something just because the speedo is off 3 mph.

That's the tire width... What's the rest of the tire size and rim size.

Did you fill out the tune form on Nelson's website? If you fill it out he will call you back on it. Do the tune and trans cooler. Everything else will start to effect your warranty unless you know your dealer's service department well. This way with the handheld you can put it back to stock??

That is exactly how I started. Bought the new truck and was just going to have it tuned and that was it. Then exhaust, headers, cam, forged engine, maggie, trans, and now alky injection.........It never ends
