    Could be a bad sensor as well. It may just be a coincidence that the tires were put on the same time as the fault.

    A code reader will tell you what’s going on.

    Only thing I really liked about Dodge trucks was the onboard diagnostic system that would read codes on the dash. Probably designed it that way due to all the issues these trucks had. I was dumb enough to buy two of them.

    Thank you all! This is why I will probably never drive anything but a Tundra from now on. Im definitely getting another one fully loaded for my Girlfriend and will probably get my daughter one for Flagler College soon. These trucks are the shit.

    Hold the Line! If you are not holding the line, abandon your ship. Destruction is inevitable without more to hold the line!
    Turn off the traction nannies.

    Same thing happened to me when I put my new tires and rims on the oversized tires and rims and is lifting your truck up to high and setting off your traction there’s a way to disable it so this doesn’t happen Usually happens when you hit a bump or uneven roads will set the traction control on very easy because the truck comes up and senses your tires do you not have traction. So what you want to do this disable your traction control you start by pushing it one time till you see the track control light you would think it’s off but really it’s not you need to push it one more time and hold it for three seconds then you’ll see another light come on then you will need to push it one more time and hold it for three seconds then you will see a big light on your dash say traction control disabled that is when you can go out and have some fun Hope that works out for you but kind of a pain in the butt having to do that every time Or you could just stick it in four-wheel-drive and that also disable traction control LOL

    Have you checked the tire pressures too? Uneven inflation can be enough to cause issues like this too.

    Ok Guys I had to get tech support from Bully Dog and they walked me through the initial set up and downloads/Updates. Took well over an hour. I ask him about the Zero Point Calibration and he said There is no Zero Point Calibration for Tundras. I said um thats not what I read or heard. He got a littl snippy about it not existing and I was misinformed. So if this is true I guess Im going to have to go to Toyota 2 hrs west and have them do it. I have not set it up in the truck yet because they said I have to connect a charger to my battery or it will fail set up.

    Yeah I had no idea this would turn into an all afternoon circus.
