If you have a spare stock ECM I would recommend using that during Service, as the dealer a lot times will take it upon themselves to flash in an "update".

If you use a tuned ecm and sweep the original one to go to the dealer I bet they will now about. The truck module will tell them different engine hours/miles that are missing from the OM one. This is what I think, my own opinion. I’m driving a 18 wheeler , swept in a tuned ECM and have someone to add hours In to the OM one, engine still under warranty....will see when need to check with dealer if any warranty repairs will be denied.
So I see no differences with tuned ECM and OM ECM when u have to take it in for repairs under warranty.
If I’m wrong just bring a explanation about it.

If your egr has been tuned by GDE and it gets reprogrammed they GDE can not fix it again. As they have been shut down on the ecodiesel by the EPA.I was told this by GDE this am.This is my understanding and not a official statement by them.
