I know this is a old thread but I confirmed today at my dealer that the counts read only 1 program ever done and all 8 program numbers read the same as stock when set to stock tune. Really amazed at this. I have a 13 SS BTW.

There is a 5 year old challenge stickyed up top addressed to tuners on how to prove their tunes are invisible. Several tuners have stepped up and tried it, so far everyone has failed. We even had a couple vendors leave the site and never come back when word got out that their so called "stealth" tunes can still be detected when reverted back to stock form. |

So Chevy does have a counter and a means to check.
Would a dealer ever check it with non-engine related changes? I want to put a CAI on and possibly a cat back system that I am also interested in tuning the engine for performance and AFM especially how it comes on.

Unlikely they will check unless there is a major drive train failure. I provide custom remote tuning via the SCT X4 tuner over email and would be happy to provide you with a great tune. Purchase the hand held SCT X4 from JRE and get the first tune for your combination listed here, FREE. Ted.

But seriously, does anybody have a link to a thread where somebody's warranty got denied due to the flash count being too high after they flashed back to stock after being tuned with a Diablo or similar?

A lot of guys keep bringing up the flash count as being an issue, but I've yet to read about a single case of someone having an issue with their flash count not matching up, as though the dealers keep a running record of the amount of times that your car has been hooked up to their computer. Does anyone have a link to a single case where that happened, or are people just being paranoid about something that has never actually happened? Link?

Nobody has ever "proved" stealth tunes are untraceable. You can claim it all you want, but I challenge anyone to send their stealth tuned info to GM and dare them to check it.
If you prove you tuned it, and GM verifies it's still "stock", then let the evidence speak for itself. If they don't look for it, then maybe. But if you dare them to look for it, I'd be interested in the outcome. Until then, I don't care what ANYONE says that they can't detect an aftermarket tune. It's pure BS. Unless, of course, the Diablo doesn't actually tune the car...
