You can install any size tires you want and it can't cause that code.

yeah stock 3.73's i think they are and an auto tranny. i didnt think it would make a difference either ive got a friend at school runnin 33's with everything stock on a 4.0, auto and she has no problem. i mean when i get on it and it hits around 35 to 45 and changes gears it jerks hard and the truck shakes. then after that it will shift smooth again. i dont know whats goin on.

sounds to me like the tranny is startin to go... not really what you wanted to hear im sure. when the transmission starts act up there isnt normally much that can be done. it can be babied, the fluids can be changed and such, but normally nothing brings em back. unless something just got screwed up in the programming, then you may be in for a pricy fix... it's definitly something in the transmission.

Sounds like your transmission definitely has issues...
If you want to re-gear for your 32s, here's a ring gear calculator:

i bought the truck used with 58000 miles on it and the guy who had before me kept track of everything he did like oil changes, etc. up until about 30000 miles but nothing about the tranny was written down and i have never changed it myself so it could be 80000 miles old. i have spring break next week so i planned on taking it to get looked then.
