You miss the point. Artistic license gives you the right to compose anything any way you want. 
Nothing needs to be "fixed". The "feeling", "mood", or "sense" is what counts. In my case, I was simply trying to portray the sense of how Ford would view a programmer. Nothing more, nothing less. I was certainly NOT trying to accurately portray the linkage between the programmer and the wheel bearing, because we all know it doesn't really exist!
But, I acknowledge your correction in the placement of the transfer case relative to the drive shaft and transmission and my omission of the differential. As I said, I KNEW I could count on you!
To be honest, I was afraid my poor parody on the ancient "Dry Bones" song was so obscure that I figured only Bluejay would get it. But, Bill did too!

Looking at my last post, I see I need to elaborate. You can put this to music and hum it along.
The Programmer Bone connected to the Computer Bone,
The Computer Bone connected to the Engine Bone,
The Engine Bone connected to the Transmission Bone,
The Transmission Bone connected to the Driveshaft Bone,
The Driveshaft Bone connected to the Transfer Case Bone,
The Transfer Case Bone connected to the Axle Bone,
The Axle Bone connected to the Bearing Bone,
Now, HEAR THE WORD OF FORD!
The warranty ain't gonna be honored no mo, .....
That's how it works!

Good thing I didn't have my '06 towed to the Stealer after the dump truck T-Boned me. "Excuse me, sir, but I see you have a tuner installed. The radiational flux emitted from the co-signalization of the holoistic xeons clearly interfered with the gobatrons and satellilitical schmooze-waves of the dirt-hauler, and resulted in a co-mingling of gravitational sub-polar anti-matter forces which resulted in an unavoidable intermingling of carbon-based Cementite in a stoichiometric phase with the chemical formula of Fe3C (steel).
Basically, sir, your warranty is void because the dump truck wanted to "get it on" with your F150 with the sexy tuner.....sorry."

The only truly undetectable programmer that I know about is the Unichip setup and it really isn't a true programmer. The Unichip boxes install between the PCM and the engine control sensors and it intercepts and alters those signals to increase performance. Since it doesn't ever alter the programming in the PCM it would be "undetectable" as long as you uninstalled it every time you took your truck to a dealership. It is also insanely expensive. I have not read any reports of anyone having or using this setup on the F150 sites I read.
