Well I know from experience it makes it a very big pain to adjust something stupid that isn't working in the tune. Been there done that, never again. But that's just my own opinion

Those of us that are picky about how out trucks run means that locked tuning would be a pain in the ass. Specially if he tuner was not in the same state. I know where your comi from Ben. Sometimes it's easier to just do it yourself than wait on a revised tune but things have changed but you can't with the way 90% of the tuners out there are and I can't blame them either.

I don't blame shops that lock there tunes but it can be a hassle for some of the end users. Dustin locks his too but if he knows you we'll enough he will send it unlocked. He doesn't mind you seeing what he did but he's been burnt a couple times. I've actually seen his tunes for sale on craigslist lol! That didn't last long.

I think it depends on your reputation some also. I have never received a locked tune from 4 different well known tuners. And I would say for the most part the guys who have been on this site for a bit would never screw a fellow member. But there is always a few that screw the rest of us.
