Default Disel reprograming for biger tires.

HI
Unfortunatlly i run Jeep wrangler with diesel engine and automatic transmision.
Im going to put 35 ' on it but the problem is how to reprogram it for bigger size?
I was in a dealer but in orginal software max tire size is 255x 75 x 17 so it is 32.
What to do , any advice?

Unfortunately, you run a diesel... I will trade you! I don't know if superchips or procal could change the tire sizes on a Diesel JK Maybe worth dropping a PM to a sponsor or email Superchips! Or you can search out a Diesel programmer for the JK diesel. I am not sure what is out there for JK diesel programmers if they even make one.

What is the make of the Diesel Tuner you found for the JK CRD?

You shouldn't have any issues without reprogramming, just be sure if you get new rims to add the Tire Pressure Sensors in or you will get (_!_) this annoying warning symbol if you don't add them. Besides that the only thing you will have to worry is your speedo it will be out 5-10% depending on original size tires vs new tire size. So just account for that when travelling highway speed as well calculating your Fuel Economy. Your auto tranny shift points maybe off just a little but with that much torque & HP in your JK you should not really need to worry.
