Default New Computer ?

i didnt know how to exactly serach for this so i thought id make a new thread. the dealer by me likes to look closely at everything on the computer when the motor goes or something happens big . im worried about my warrenty so i was like alright i get a new computer for it and tune that one and incase switch them over . well my buddy threw this one at me .

what happens when they compare my computers milege to the one on my odometer?

anyone ever think about this or have a problem like this .

I think mileage is stored within the instrument cluster. Not the PCM.

Nope, the mileage is only stored in the speedo cluster. PCM remembers nothing, it just send signal to the cluster.

the pcm might not remember but i think the bcm does. Some cars the pcm does actually remember though, i read it with autotap off of my cousin's Intrigue.

Like I said before, nothing remembers mileage, but the speedo cluster. Go ahead and get your self a tuned PCM, it will be fine and shouldn't void any warranty's. The dealer will never know if you put you stock PCM back in when you go in for service
