Does it ask for tire size in the set up? Mine has 265/70/16 and supost to have 265/70/17's

You have to figure out the percentage difference between the height of your old vs. the new ones and enter the multiplier as 1.0xx

If you have a 3% difference enter it as 1.030

Which Torque program are you using? The free or the one that has a cost? I'm guessing that this is the pay app. I can't find half of this on the free one.

Honestly..its currently $79, but scantool MX can see your other systems besides just OBDII using the forscan app, and is worth it.
I have one with the ELM327 chip. It's been awesome, and it works well with the Torque app and my Galaxy S3 (I know - old phone, but the damn thing just keeps going).

OK so I was playing around with this today and I got to looking around on the settings and found this

It says something about a bug fix for '00 an '01 F-150's is this something I need to check or leave unchecked?
