There must be someone who has changed the gear ratio on a newer chev or gmcthat has had this problem. I see a lot of trucks with huge tires and canonly think that they might have swapped the gears. If I see one on the roadI will try to ask him. I will continue to watch this post for any help thatyou may have to offer. thanksPost Extras:

Thanks for the info. The funny thing is that after I installed the lift and35 inch tires, the speedo of course was off so I Programmed for the tiresize difference. Everything was ok after that until I installed the gears amonth later. That is when BOTH lights came on; the brake light and theservice 4wd. I will keep searching the internet for a fix. A call toWesters will be first. Thanks againPost...

Yep everything was ok until the VSS no longer was in calibration with theWSS's. That's when the PCM freaked out.--------------------02 Chevy 2500HD D/A CC LB05 Chevy Tahoe Z7105 Pontiac GTO 6spdhttp://www.getyasome.netPost Extras:
