Best programmer for oversized tires

[JTMATTEL05]

I have 35x12.5x20 on my truck and want to get a programmer that I’ll be able to adjust my tire size in the system.

what would you recommend.

Other features are a bonus (scan, reset, view codes)

I believe AlfaOBD can do all that.

^^^^ what John said.

Alfa OBD - that's a no-brainer!

What they said if your not looking for a power box. If your asking about a power box that clears codes and adjusts tire size, the edge Juice w/attitude does all that. I didnt get one for the extra power, I got one for all the reasons you listed and the monitoring functions and found it on sale for the same price as just the juice. Figured if I needed extra power in a pinch it would be there.

Does it work with Apple devices?

that’s all I got.

It does not work on Apple, only PC or Android.

I use all apple for portable so I put it on my laptop.

I’d buy a cheap android tablet before looking at other non-tuning options. For tuning I’d look it a MM3.

Personally I’d stay as far from edge tuning products as possible. I’ve got a CTS2 for in warranty monitoring purposes. It sucks compared to other stuff I’ve used, but gets the job done for monitoring only. I wouldn’t ever run any edge performance product, I don’t like how they tune.

As others have said, Alfa is the way to got unless you're looking for power or tuning. Pick up a Android tablet along with MX+ Bluetooth. All 3 will set you back around $300. I would prefer the budget line Samsung tablets. (JMHO) Alfa allows you to do many things and also reads codes and the MX+ allows you to record data points and live gauges and graphs! Plenty of help with Alfa on here and other forums. I have Alfa and have changed the TPMS points to not get warning light when running lower pressures, programmed FOBIK's for my truck and buddy's 300 and turned on front turn signals to use as DRL's! You can set H/L's as DRL's with lower voltage to preserve bulb life. One nice feature is being able to check lights on truck and trailer without any help. You choose which light and turn it on and off with app! Whichever one you choose is up to you. Enjoy these trucks!!!

Can you run an OBD splitter with Alpha and another monitor? I have a switch in my truck to the OBD port and would like to leave alpha connected all the time so I can use my phone as gauges.

So I got this set up (alfaobd) I think I made a mistake.... anyone knowledgeable enough to take some time to give me a call?

 

[Topzide]

What mistake do you think you did? I Can try to walk you through. First you go to body computer and select your year powernet then go to car configuration change then vehconfig 4: dynamic tic circumference (all or rear) (0-65534 mm) and enter the value. Hope this helps.

 

[JTMATTEL05]

I got it figured out... whew... it was that I didn’t update the RFH after adjustment.

Glad to hear you got it to work! One thing that I've noticed with Alfa is that it needs time to set changes before they show up or multiple steps to set them in ECU. Keep a good config file to keep track of changes. Love the Alfa!!!!!!!!!!
