    Default Tuning

    So I'm wondering on the tuning front...

    If I get a tune and the TCM *fixed*, but keep copies of the stock profiles, can a dealership tell if I have it flashed back to the original profiles before bringing it in?

    In other words, should I be buying a second ECU to tune, and leave the stock stock. Of course, that still doesn't leave me much on the TCM front.

    Bueller?

    I bought the extra ecm for 2 reasons. Just incase and to play with in the future. If you are not going in for ECM type issues odds are they willl never check....unless they take it upon themselves to reflash any updates so they can collect from GM.

    Any place sell them besides vector? My uncle is a parts guy at a dealership... but I figure it may seem a bit odd when I bring the car in for service if they check my history and see an ECM in there

    That, and I don't even know if they sell those direct.

    You can order one and as long as they dont install it, no one will know but you.

    Check the prices, you may be able to get it from Vector cheaper.
