do you only have the TCM tuned? I know the ECU has a tune counter. dont know about the TCM.

How common is it for tuners to lock the tunes on this platform? My experience with COBB tunes is that locking is just the name of the game. No user visibility into the file allowed.

If a locked tune is flashed to the ECU and the tuner is no longer available, can you still overwrite the tune with another file? I would hope so, but I dont know for sure with this platform.

I haven't done any mods and I mainly want to avoid the shudder by locking out the TC slip. I already have the Range for locking out 4 cylinder mode.

I am curious about this as well.

If you were to tune it, can you put it back to stock. Can the dealer tell the ecu has been modified or played with at all?
