Those who know me, know I am running a 6" lift and 37x13.50 tires on -25 10" wide wheel. So this may not apply to many since I have about 2.5" more lift than most on here. Truck sits with 1/2" of rake. So my problem maybe exaggerated. While parking in a painted parking stall the cameras would show I was between the white lines. Once I get out and look I would almost be touching the passenger side line. While backing into a spot I may see a short instance of double lines where the side and front camera try to blend them and the same on the rear. Running BlueCruise I would always be on the fog line. Driving in the center or outside lane of a two or three lane highway I would be uncomfortably close to the the passenger lane. I finaly had my cameras recalibrated and the APIM reset. The tech said anytime you lift or level your truck you should have this done. TC Customs says they do this on every truck they send out the door. I have been waiting to get the recalls and first early service done. The dealership charged me $160.00 to recalibrate and a $100.00 for 3 oil and filter services. Kinda of surprised it was this much and they had the truck for 5 hours including the steering column harness and trailer brake controller recalls.
 
After recalibration I am finally parking in between the lines. So much so that it may just be driver error if I don't get it perfect. BlueCruise now puts me in the middle of the lane and doesn't seem to fight me as much since I feel more comfortable where it puts me. I have not logged enough miles with BlueCruise on to see if it has helped the PING/PONG effect it sometimes get. Even if it helps a little, it will be greatly appreciated. But I believe the oversized tires, weight of the tires and added wind drag the steering input is not enough for the truck to say it has made the correction. Then it ends up overcorrecting as it give even more input. But I an also thinking I have been riding outside the wheel path and this always seems to cause a little crazy driving situations even without BC.

So it may be worth checking into if any of you have noticed this.

Great news!! I know the recalibration is a PITA to do right. My dealership is waiting for me to bring it in but want to get these springs replaced in the front before I do.
 
Here is a pic of some of the blurring I would get.
It's gone now.

Hey @Fozzy which dealership do you go to? I haven’t found any that do the 3 oil changes packages.
