Just saw that. Said he fell asleep at the wheel. Nice stitch work on his forehead. OUCH!!

Alright Jeremy or anyone else, here you go, school me, I just got my new tires on and I want to correct the new tire size in my tune for speedometer purposes and what not. I looked in the options on my XCAL3 and I am guessing it is going to be the TIRE REV/MILE section, right?? Ok so now that I went from 235/50/18 to now 255/45/18, what do I need to change with the XCAL 3? Call me a NOOB, go ahead. I searched for something close, but nothing apparent stood out to me. FLAME ON!!!

 

[rayS197]

Nick, yes you are correct and in the right setting on your XCal. discounttiredirect.com has a conversion or tire size calculator you can use for that which gives you revs / miles/ tire height/ width etc. Enter the tire info and go from there. Or google is your friend

 

[Aandf1978]

Yeah it could only be that easy! Right from where I bought the damn tires. Well stock is: 740.06 and new tire is: 745.99 so I'm off to see how that works in my XCAL3, I think that increments of 5 only, so I guess I'll go with 745. Should be close enough. Thanks Ray!! Sorry for being such a NOOB! Rather get the right answer the first time instead of bumble fucking through things.

 

[rayS197]

No one is a noob here. Everyone brings something to the table.

Lol! I'm coming to make sure we don't heat the sway bar beyond it's spring rate capacity. My daughter will be coming with me if we do the install on that Saturday.

 

[JeremyH]

First off big thanks to Ray! The ac stopped working in the new house and Ray helped me troubleshoot it, find the problem and told me how to temp fix it till the new tstat goes in! Much nicer unpacking stuff when its not hot as an oven!

I will be on leave so will defiently have this day off so just have to schedule it with the boss , arent we starting the turbo install for luke that weekend?

 

[Greg Hazlett]

Can't remember, if so good thing it's a big 2 car garage...he can start on his while Ray helps us with the relo kit.

 

[LAllison20]

I'm starting my vacay on that weekend to get the turbo install underway.

 

[rayS197]

Jeremy your welcome. You pretty much knew what it was. Just a process of elimination to make sure nothing else was wrong. Thats another cool thing about the master phone list. We all bring something to the table and can help each other. Sorry but I dont know what everyone else does for a living. here is just a few.

Walt- appliances etc.
Doug- plumber
Ray- Welder
Me- HVAC

etc...
