Diablo Sport Tune

[IRISH]

A friend of mine is looking at a 2009 Grand Cherokee SRT that the previous the previous owner has installed a "Diablo sport tune" My friend now has concerns about owning it with the tune installed.

So his question is, can it be removed without leaving a trace in the computer of the Jeep if a mechanic was to review the program? A friend of ours has had his warranty voided on his Ford because the mechanic found evidence that the truck had a tune previously so that is where the concern comes in.

You can return the Jeep back to stock without any easily identifiable traces that it had a tune. However, does this Jeep have any mods that require a custom tune? Or s I just a stock Jeep with a tune?

It shouldnt be a problem, no. On my last jeep, id bring it in for warranty work, tune and all....lol

The only other (we are aware of) is the cold air intake. What would be any other mods that would require the tune?

[FlyinRyan]

These PCMs are pretty resilient...we just tuned a cammed SRT8 that the current owner bought completely unaware it was modified. it was running a fairly aggressive cam profile on the stock tune. Not necessarily a good idea, but my point is that an intake, exhaust etc, do not "require" a tune.

How do you remove the tune from a Jeep?

[FlyinRyan]

He'll need the programmer and there will be an option to reload the original backup.

doesn't sound like he has an original back-up. If the op's friend bought the rig with a diablo tune installed, then you're not going to be able to reload a "stock" tune. It's a trip to the dealer - to have it flashed...

Agreed, I was saying if he had the handheld. If not, which is possible, off to the dealer he goes... :(

Ok, thanks for all the info.

What they said, if you have the tuner, you can "force" a stock tune, otherwise off to the dealer for a re-flash.

How would you go about asking the dealer to do a re-flash without having warranty issues in the future?

If your friend bought it from a ChriCo dealer, then take it back and tell them they need to make it stock. Then go and buy a Diablo and get it tuned :eek::lol::D

Take it to a dealer that's out of town other than the regular dealer used. Lol. It's an option.

The right dealer wont ask questions....its an easy 100 bucks for them.

Hello,

I work for Diablosport, If you have someone close to you that has a tuner, we can put the org back up on the jeep without having to go to the dealer. Someone would just need to put there truck to stock for a half hour or so. But you can avoid the dealership.

The best thing is to try and get the old tuner from the last owner, but if that cant happen, no biggie.

Let me know if there is something else I can do for you.

I think I suggested that earlier in this thread and is the best, easiest, cheapest option.
