wasnt aware i could ste it up that way without installing software, thanks. now i just gotta get it back from my buddy...
Make sure he turns it back to stock before you get it back. It stays locked to the vehicles VIN # untill you turn it back to stock, so you won't be able to use it if not.

Also another interesting thing I read and I think it is true. If you recal your speedo or your speed limiter, you can still use it on another vehicle if returned to stock. I have turned mine back to stock a few times and my speedo recal stayed in the ECM. I also read somewhere on here that this is true but can't remember where. Triton will know I'm sure.

When you go to the dealer MAKE sure they can calibrate your tires for 315!!

I have an 06' Megacab and at that time they could only adjust up to 285 which made an improvement. In the beginning I was told just go to dealer and they will plug your truck into STAR Scan and calibrate it. Well I did that except the dealer could not program it. The tires sizes in the computer were pre-set and there was no option to manually enter the tire size. So, I didn't believe them and went to another dealer and it was thesame thing. I didn't believe them and went to yet another dealer in a different stateand it wsa the same thing.

I found a member on one of the forums who was getting trained for Dodge and had a STAR Scan. He himself came up with the same thing, the tires sizes were preset with now way to re-programor manually enter tire sizes.

I did learn that for an 05' truck there was an option to enter the number revs/mile (info obtainable from tire manufacture) and that would correctly adjust for your tire size.

Now, if that has changed and dealers can program any tire size for an 06' truck I will go tomrrow and have it done. But if not, then becareful that you dont get charged $89 only to find out that they calibrated your truck for 285.

When they changed my calibration from 265 to 285, I noticed better shifting, but my odometer is still off by 3.75%.

Anyway, let me know how it goes. My other option was a Smarty but I had already bought the Bully Dog so it was not worth it to spend more money. But when my truck hit 36,000 on the odometer it was really like 37,500actual miles.
