I am going to flash my buddies T-Cat back to stock before he brings it in, then flash it back after.

Supposedly, "they" can tell if there have been alterations (ie 3rd party tunes) to the ECU via "tracks in the ECU." even if it has been reflashed back to stock. If you get any confirmation on that, I'd like to hear. There's so much conflicting info out there about this. Cat official bulletin shows the requirements to get a replacement clutch which specifically states the dealer has to verify whether or not the sled is stock with no alterations. Then, there's many reports of dealers who did not have to report to Cat whether the sled was tuned or not.I am going to flash my buddies T-Cat back to stock before he brings it in, then flash it back after.
At the end of the day, I don't want another Team clutch that will eventually crack anyway so this recall doesn't do anything for me. I already decided to try an ADAPT which is already on my sled. Time will tell if they hold up or not.
Then, there's TAPP, Powerbloc, STM, etc.
