You can monitor all sensors in the motor, pull codes, change your speedo for up to 40" tires...


You will most likely see a little turbo surge with the addition of a chip, cheapest way to cure that is the WW...

Riffraff Diesel and you can find your gauges and wicked wheel.
I agree with Layson. I was in the same boat with just 35's; do I change gears (front & back=expensive), or try a chip first. After my live-tuned DP was installed, I'm glad I didn't change gears! But again, I only have 35's. Your 37's may make a difference; however, if your going to add a tuner anyway, select the one you prefer from the major players mentioned on this site and see if it works for you before going through expense of changing both diffs!

I am running 4.56 gears with 37" tires...rpm @ 70 is 2250 a little high when not towing but with 10000 lb trailer it is great.... if you want close to stock i would rec 4.30 close to 1900 rpm @70....

I'm sorry you mit be right, I have drw stock 235 tires so the rpm's are quite different. It would make it hard to tow with that high of ratio w tire and rased. Anything really heavey would be a challenge. Sorry Layson I mit of read you wrong'
