Diesel truck chip programmer

Yes, the truck comes with a 5yr 160,000km power train warranty (GMC) and it's a 2009. 2 years to go. That's why I was looking at the bulldog chip, it's supposed to be hidden and claims that it doesn't require a sensor to be drilled into the exhaust.

GM will chip the truck out for you as well; however it will cost more than aftermarket... but still retain the warranty.

That's the thing... our dealership here quoted something like $2250, the bulldog chip was like $650 at a local auto equipment shop. It's a hard price to swallow when I could essentially take out the better priced chip before bringing the truck into the dealership (should an issue arise). Could they really tell?

That is sucky....

[cuz]

is the dealer price for only the chip?? That usually around the dealer cost for a chip with intake upgrade and exhaust?

and yes they can tell if its been chipped, they actually put out cheat sheets to the service writers and mechanics for tell tale signs of chips.

Nope, that was the price for their recommended chip and installation costs. I think that they detail the vehicle at the same time as part of some package deal thing, I can't remember exactly. I am a girl so I know they exaggerated the installation steps and necessary components to me, I just don't really want to drop that kind of money right now when I could spend significantly less and be as happy.
