0:00.0 | Holman, what have I told you that the new GM trucks will not allow you to upsize your tires and recalibrate your speedo? |
0:08.0 | What if I told you it's not just the new trucks? |
0:12.0 | What do you mean? |
0:14.0 | Well, that's been a ongoing problem. |
0:16.0 | So everything with Global B, so 21 and plus Light D. |
0:21.0 | 23 plus mid-sized trucks, and 24-plus HD's are on Global B. Every one of those trucks |
0:28.2 | cannot have a aftermarket or the dealer change your tire size to calibrate your speedo. |
0:35.0 | So it's one thing that we do, we couldn't do that in the aftermarket, right? |
0:39.0 | You go and get a set of 20s and put them on 35s, you got you got a little six inch lift kit whatever you do you can't even |
0:46.1 | go to the dealer and have them recalibrate your speedo so it's permanently off so if you want 35s on your HD, you'll have to buy that GMC 2500 HD AT4X AAV |

1:26.8 | locked down for security right with all the different modules that have more |
1:30.1 | and more control over driving so you have to think about things like super crews right so |
1:34.6 | that's autonomous driving they don't want to throw anything off because super crews |
1:38.7 | is going to be part of their upgrades in the future they're not even letting anybody in there. So the only company I am aware of |
1:46.2 | that has cracked Global B is HP tuners, but they're focusing on the car, so I don't know if they |
1:51.3 | even know that they're the only ones or that this is even something to look forward to |
1:55.1 | They make a lot of money off the truck market so they've got to be aware and we can get them on the phone to get their I mean opinion I would be interested in finding out more |
