Well, in stock trim, the truck does have about a 3 degree slope toward the front, right? Seems strange that it would read the other direction now......there must be a way to reset it.

Mabey try disconnecting the battery. The loss in power may cause the computer to re calibrate when re-connected. Just thinking out loud on this one.

Yeah, I would think that would be your best bet as well.

Mine has to tilt roughly 7 degrees (front / back) before it'll even read 1 degree on the monitor... but the left / right will read on the smallest of crowned roads.

Battery disconnect didn't help mine.
