Modified Programming and performance equipment under close scrutiny...

[greatwhite]

I was under the impression they were already doing this or at least capable.

Pretty sure I've seen TSB's about warranty work and verifying the program in the ECM....

I also recall that they can log the difference in time the ECM has on it and the other modules in the truck (BCM, ABS, airbag, etc) so an ECM swap may not be the final solution either. Don't quote me on that though....

It doesn't surprise me really. What with everyone feeling the pinch and the OEM's looking for money everywhere they can it's only natural they try to limit their liability. I didn't say it's right or fair, but neither is whacking another 75-150 HP into their original design and crying foul when it departs the fix....

Guess the bottom line is they can find out one way or another if the vehicle has been altered if they want to dig deep enough. Also depends on how far the dealer tech wants to dig or just "fudge" the papers and get on with the warranty wrenchin' and his next paycheck.

It all makes me kind of glad my old hack is well out of warranty and mine to do with as I please.......
