Are you running flashpro? I have to assume you’d need a custom tune to make the cams perform properly

I had to get X-Rays on my Left Knee Monday. Can’t walk well without wearing a brace. Next is an MRI on Tuesday because they found “Loose Bodies” around my kneecap. Think they’re gonna have to go in with a scope and pull the bits out. Not looking forward to that.
Work’s also been hell the past couple of weeks. Every call has had a “Must be Senior Tech” notation on it because the morons they’ve been hiring do more damage than anything else. Only good part is I’ve been having my Trainee do most of the leg work. Pun intended.

Speaking of broken rams. A trx was towed in today. Broken engine. Dtc active for aftermarket calibration detected. Not gonna be able to warranty it.
Aftermarket calibration detection is gonna kill tubing off the cars. Hear about that stuff screwing people over on warranty repairs.

To be fair this customer had aftermarket pulley and injectors as well and told us about it. If they warranty this engine I'll be surprised.
I could tell the whole side of the truck had be repainted and the inside was full of mud. Guy uses it as a work truck.

I don't think it's a bad thing to screw the customer of warranty for issues like this. Guy modified his truck probably used some generic tune instead of a custom tune and it blew up hsi engine. You gotta know the risks before you do that stuff. I don't think the manufacturer should have to front the bill for him adding more power than the engine was designed for.

Agreed, but some manufacturers are doing a bit too much. From what I’ve seen VAG uses “ELSA”? and it’ll flag your car with a “TD1” as soon as they jack into your OBDII. Audi refused to service the Mag Suspension or Haldex on my S3 because the car had been flagged for a tune. Subaru seems to be a bit more lenient regarding mods but that’s probably because of the class actions on their engines.
