Yep, read the manual, measured the tires out at just under 35" but like I said the speedo is closer to a correct reading if I set it at 31.75" just seems like a big difference. The flashpaq actually read 30.25" for my stock tires which were closer to 33" measured.

Hmmm...my tires measured right at 34 and I set the Flashpaq to 33.75. I checked the speedo with my GPS and it was about as close as it will get...within 1/2-1 mph at 55.

I recently purchased a Superchip for my Rubi and it really made a BIG DIFFERENCE in the way it responded. I noticed a bit more MPG and corrected my speedometer. Overall, a very good investment if you ask me.

I switched mine over to the economy tune a couple weeks ago. I've literally changed nothing else (except added the weight of bumper/winch etc.) and my mileage has gone up 2mpg on average. It's nice while it lasts as my 35s are on their way to me!

Owning a competitive product convinced me.

I have recently adjusted my fan speeds lower. It has helped with pick up. I set low to 200, Med to 205 and high 210.
Give it a shot!

This is a bad idea unless you have actually replaced your thermostat. What it will lead to is a DTC for an open fan relay. Fan on temperatures need to be 20 degrees higher than thermostat. if you are running the stock 195, that means 215 for your fan on temperature.

Personally I do run a 180 degree thermostat in the summer and lower my fan on temperature to 200 degrees (20 degrees over t-stat temp). I change it back in the fall to a 195 as I don't want excessive time to reach operating temperatures.

Anyway, be ready for the CEL because it will be coming pretty soon.
