Chip Question

If I get a chip and remove it when I need to take the truck in for sevice, is there any way the Service people would know? Can their diagnostic equipment tell that there ever was a chip installed?

No offence to anyone here, but if you're that worried about voiding your warranty, just DON't do it ..just my opinion, but it's not really worth all the BS you have to go thru ....JR

I wasn't worried, I just wanted to know if and how they would know.

I bought my truck and discovered the previous owner had a chip installed and i still have my warranty bought through the dealer. The guy left duct tape to the PCM. heh. I guess when i get my chip installed i can ust pop it out to do service. Only had 3,999 miles on the truck? looks great. hope some damn kid didnt have it.

anywho
