    Taking car to dealership: remove Diablo tune?

    My car has been leaking tranny fluid, so I'm going to take it in and have them look at it. Should I definitely remove the Diable tune before doing so? I just raised the shift points and got it running really good with the 93, CAI tune, and would prefer to not have to de-tune it -- but I will if it's recommended. Thanks for any advice.

    Form everyone I have heard locally, they do remove the tune, return it to stock... They may flash the car so this could be an issue. It only takes like 2 minutes so I would say just to be safe, and avoid them saying you did something to void anything later I would be safe and do the change.

    return to stock! Do not give them any reason to void your warranty.

    I would always return it to stock. You never know if they get some sort of "rapid flash" or whatever and attempt to do what Chrysler tells them to do. Better safe then sorry. Look at it as a chance to update your diablo software if you haven't done it in a while.

    Oh and it really makes you glad you bought the tuner after you drive it without the tune for a bit

    I don't uninstall cause my dealer knows me and knows not to touch my car's TCM or PCM.


    Plus my car won't idle with a stock idle....not high enough

    I'm suprised the service dept. gates aren't locked when you pull up, they can hear you comming a mile away!

    I put the tune back to stock this morning and dropped the car off. Thanks for the advice.
