That wouldn’t surprise me
Yet there will still be 10’s of thousands of L5Ps modded. Cat and mouse.
That wouldn’t surprise me
I thought kidturbo said he had seen an l5p in person running in something, but it was running on a bosch e35a ecm.
I heard there are lawsuites in the air.
That wouldn’t surprise me
There are many legal issues with that unlocking process, as in swapping the ecu processor.
Its not illegal to swap the processor, what is most likely going to be the issue is what are they programming back onto the processor ??
If you think in simpler terms as an example, it would be like purchasing a bootleg download of all songs on an album, and then burning that download to another device, but either adding a few words to one song or removing a few words to a song.............its not a new song or new album.
So as Mike stated, who will be in legal trouble ??
I am going to sit on the sidelines and see where this goes, this is quite different than any other process in place for tuning, its not like GM is going to be happy and if the new processor runs their code I am not sure how GM is going to defend that in court as its probably not legal what is being done due to intellectual property rights.
I could be wrong, but nobody has the money or lawyers GM has, so they can bury you with not much effort.
I am happy they are tunable, but I fear the process will be under intense scrutiny, I hope I am wrong, but for now the water isn't safe to dive into, too many things lurking to dive into that mess right now.
Lets look at the big picture. How many people are actually deleting these trucks? Maybe 2% at the vary most. I doubt GM is worried about it. Especially when people are voiding the warranty. People are even thinking this way to much.
Way more than 2% once out of warranty. I know of entire fleets that are deleted, these are nation wide companies...
Hell, the city busses here are deleted...
Everyone said no one had the money or lawyers to push back at the EPA and that’s been proven wrong more then once now. On that note though for guys that actually don’t I’ve been hearing weekly of even smaller name tuners getting visits and decent sized fines so hopefully all of you have decent lawyers anyway
Ohhh. You must know how many l5ps are timed already. Let me guess. A inside source?
Josh's name is on it...
Again, doesn’t surprise me. With the other things happened a few months ago, I had a feeling it would go there

Well motor ops is selling tuning now. Aren’t they out of Canada and doesn’t Duramax tuner do the tuning? Here’s the ad.
