Gice the dealer a quick call and ask them to know for sure. Also some tire shops can reprogram the computer.

Welcome to the GMTC. There are programmers you can buy yourself but I believe unless you know exactly what you are doing it is pretty much a big expense that you don't get much out of.
Most good tire shops should be able to help you out, as would off-road / truck accessories shop.
You bring up a good point, though, and I'm not sure how far back programmers go in terms of vehicle year.
Good luck, and let us know how things go.Steven
