Tuning removal.

Im takin ol dirty to the dealer tomorrow for a diag, and reflash. I probably should set it back to stock settings before they reflash right? I run the SCT tuner using the "canned" tunes, and my thought was that it would brick my computer if i left the tune on it. Any thoughts on my thoughts

If you don't return it to the saved settings your SCT will become the brick.
The ECM and the stored data won't match so it will think you are trying to
tune a 2nd truck. Then you will end up having to pay SCT to unlock the
tuner so that you can use it.
