I'm betting very few will be able to answer that with certainty, especially when they don't work on it at the ECM code level. I can think of only one person off the top of my head who could, and that is because he knows the ECM inside and out. Tuning on a dyno using provided software is a whole different ball game than the folks writing the software.

The simple answer is "Yes", but it depends on how deep they are willing to look......

It is impossible to do something on a computer without leaving some kind of "footprint".

I doubt anyone at the dealer level (without some proprietary HD "spy-ware" that alerts to a reflash) would be able to tell.

However, on a motor replacement warranty claim, if any suspicions are raised, and they send the ECM back to MoCo, I have no doubt they could tell.... at the vary least, they would be able to tell that it was running outside the OEM parameters. That of course would be evidence of the tune being changed....

Question is... when and why would they spend the time & effort to look deep into the ECM....

NICE work! I think you'd feel better about that course of action overall.

I assume the oil pump assembly includes the sensor/sending unit/thingamajig?
