Cool main reason I wanted one was to which the battery volts and all that other stuff that didn't come from GM.

Fair enough, that'll be a good option when I get a winch! Thanks.

I'll check your post out Doc but I don't see much rain in phoenix. I may fab up a slide louver to close it when it's not too hot. Also it's garaged 100% of the time it's not being driven. It's strictly a to the trail, over the trail, home unit.

Thanks, you did get hot.

They say its a dry heat though.

Nope, right now the only way to recalibrate for tire size is with a mail in type PCM tune. In my opinion it's not worth it. I loved my Superchips Cortex for our Alphas. You can set it to any setting you want within minutes and back to stock ASAP if you need to call a wrecker for warranty stuff.

Plus, depending on the size tire you went from and the size you went to you are not posting that mileage to the BCM. ex: 285s to 37s you would not be posting 11-12% of the actual mileage driven.
