Default Superchips Flashpaq, will cryslter know you used one?
I was talking to a friend who thinks crystler now has a method to detect if your computer has been re-programmed. I know most programmers save original data and this can be used to restore to stock.

Has anyone heard anything like this?

I have heard this. A good friend of mine is the service manager at the stealership. I will find this out and let you know...

I flat out told my service guy I use a programmer to dial in my speedo and tire size. He didn't even raise an eyebrow.

As with anything warranty related, it depends on the dealership. They can use ANY mod to give you grief if they feel like it.

Oh that sucks. I guess I wasnt thinking of this as being a "mod." But you are right, they try everything to not do warranty work

Oh yeah, changing the tuning on the engine would definitely be considered a mod.

Well if the gears don't get you I would think the programmer would.
