If so, I guess from now on, anyone who is getting a tune, better get a written confirmation from the tuner that there no lock BS is involved.
It absolutely Should be, and It Pisses me off to no end, I had a Trailblazer SS come in for some upgrades LT headers and a Tune, I went to read the PCM and it was locked, this customer had no Knowledge of any thing being done to this vehicle before since he had just bought it used, turns out it had a Vendors tune in it.

I guess some Tuners feel the need to Lock the ECM so other Qualified tuners Can't read and see what they do in They're tune, which is a Joke among the tuning community, the truth is there is no Black Magic in Tuning if your a True Tuner.

I have never, nor will I ever Lock my Tunes.
