FORScan - software to enable/disable features in your truck
It is possible. Look at the BCM spreadsheet here at 726-12-01 and use the link there for the correct values to use for your tire size: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...730/edit#gid=0
After making the change you will probably get a wrench icon on your instrument cluster. If so, go back to the programming screen in FORScan and run the PCM Module Initialization/relearn vehicle data (pic below). If you don't see the PCM relearn listed in the programming screen you need to install the newest version of FORScan from their website. If you also see a procedure listed for your truck that says TCM Module Initialization/relearn vehicle data in the programming screen then run that afterwards. If you don't see it listed you don't need to run it.
** Note: run a GPS speedometer app on your phone to see if the tire size value you used is giving you an accurate reading. If not, you can go back and tweak the tire size value slightly to improve the calibration.

Awesome. Many thanks. I saw the first part elsewhere but saw it lead to the wrench icon. Your solution was new to me and is much appreciated. I’ll follow these steps once my new rims/tires come in. I didn’t see the relearn line when I was fooling about before - so I’ll need to look for that. Gotta love this community! Now I need to figure out how to donate to FORScan.

I have a 2017 EB with the 10-spd AT. It seems to be shifting rougher than the 8-spd in my previous '15. The dealer, of course, says all is normal. I was thinking that perhaps it might be helpful to force a full reset and allow the "adaptive" process to start over.
(The truck had been in service as the GM's vehicle for about 2,000 miles prior to our purchase and perhaps he drove differently than I do?)
Is there a way to do this using Forscan? I've searched but apparently do not have the right terms as I don't find anything definitive, other than some references to disconnecting the battery for 30+ minutes, but I'm a little reluctant to take that avenue. Thanks in advance!!

@Livnitup I tried to set my remote start to include the heated steering wheel like @MNSportsman showed he has done....
MNSportsman's IPC
I tried to enter to changes as he listed:
"720-02-02: xxxx xXxx - Add 4 to existing value Examples: 9->D, A->E, B->F" ( my setting was 1 so I changed it to 5) but it did not add this setting to my cluster. Any ideas?

Try this: 720-02-02: xxxx x7xx
Does that provide more control? When I updated my truck to get that setting control the options were auto and off. Just not sure what auto is. I just did it yesterday so I’m not sure. I’d like it to go to last value/setting used.

Thanks...I discovered my problem wasn't with the "720-02-02: xxxx xXxx" but the bit before that (Xxxx)... I didn't have the seat menu enabled on my screen. Once I enabled that bit the display showed

Glad you got it figured out Firerunner. At a balmy high of 0 F here in MN today this heated steering wheel add has quickly become one of my favorites!

I am playing with it but waiting on an '18 C-CM to arrive before I try to flash my '16 C-CM and see if the software route is possible.
