Your truck looks awesome. Personally I'd skip the Procal and get a Diablo Sport instead.

Thanks man!! Well I am hesitant to spend that kind of $ on a tuner. I will if I have to. However, according to the ProCal literature, it can adjust tire size ( for speedometer), axle ratio (For tranny), & tire pressure setting (for TPMS).Reloaderguy wrote: Your truck looks awesome.

Yeah, I let them go for $400. They were actually at 11-12/32", so more than ½ life I guess, more than I thought at nearly 30K miles, and a little chunking on the side lugs from off roading up North, nothing too bad I think.olyelr wrote:Looking goooood!
You got $500 for a set of stock duratracs with 27k miles on them?! You done did good! Were they spent or did they have some usable miles left in them?!
Thanks man , yours is a true resurrection transformation, I call it the cardiac wagon!!!RamGentry wrote:quite a transformation for your truck. Great build so far
I had my TPMS adjusted down to 50 front and rear at the dealer. No more lights.Reloaderguy wrote:Your truck looks awesome. Personally I'd skip the Procal and get a Dibablo Sport instead.

Really, when was that? I thought with the new WiTech II, dealers were locked out from making changes to the RFH, which is needed to register new pressures. You can still make a change in the BCM, but w/o RFH assess, the light will still come on. But who really knows. I've spent 3 days vigorously researching this & honestly, I still can't tell if it's something that can be changed as of today. Maybe it could have been changed with WiTech I & the right voodoo dance, but I'm skeptical now. FCA has there collective head in their ass on this.hammer40 wrote:I had my TPMS adjusted down to 50 front and rear at the dealer. No more lights.Reloaderguy wrote:Your truck looks awesome.

The tuner costs almost as much as the Procal but it gives you more control and transmission programming. I need to see some evidence the ProCal can adjust the TPMS because the instructions tell you to take it to the dealer to have the thresholds changed. I presume they mean with a WiTech.adeluca73 wrote:Thanks man!! Well I am hesitant to spend that kind of $ on a tuner. I will if I have to.

Hey, yes you're correct, you can set the TPMS threshold with a ProCal; however, you need your VIN assigned PIN # which you're supposed to get from the dealer, then you can change the BCM with the ProCal, but I think the RFH still has to be accessed by a WiTech.Reloaderguy wrote:The tuner costs almost as much as the Procal but it gives you more control and transmission programming.

Right, which is what I was saying before:Reloaderguy wrote:Its the procedure listed in the AEV instructions using currently available diagnostic tools such as Auto Enginuity.
Exactly...but I've been working this behind the scenes with AEV & trying to get them to sell me one w/o buying their suspension first.Reloaderguy wrote:You can't buy the Procal though. I assume AEV has an agreement with FCA that limits who can get a Procal in exchange for the technology necessary to interface vehicle computers.
If you make this happen then please let us know... I've tried for almost a year to get the Pro Cal... They just say sorry, not gonna happen without the suspension system...adeluca73 wrote:Exactly...but I've been working this behind the scenes with AEV & trying to get them to sell me one w/o buying their suspension first.Reloaderguy wrote:You can't buy the Procal though.
