tires
I recently put taller tires on my truck which has really robbed horse power. Some one told me you can change the ratio in the auto tranny thru the computor.Sounds a little far feched to me, have any of you guys dealt with this issue?

However, correcting the ECM will not give your HP back. You will need to get a programmer to add a little HP to get fuel milage and HP back. Basicly what you did by putting taller tires on it was , you basicly gave it higher gear ratio's.
I have 35"s on my truck and noticed the same performance drop and loss in fuel milage. I bought the "Smarty" programmer and corrected the tires size and added a little horse power, now it's better than it was before

Go to your dealer and they can program the correct tire size for you.
