They make a programer or something that won't tip off the dealer ????

To a point it depends more on your dealer than your mods. They can void your warrenty for using the wrong air filter, oil, antifreeze, almost anything. That dosen't mean they will.
The handheld programmers, and the newer 4-page chips aren't supposed to set any codes that can be traced, but the tech only has to look at the computer to see that a chip has been there, and the handhelds leave a PO603 code and some dealers just "assume" a programmer was installed, even though unhooking your batteries to clean the terminals will also leave a PO603.
Basically, if you're really concerned about the engine warrenty, you have to leave it stone stock, but a conversation with your service manager will give you a "feel" for what you can and cannot do, of course, that only helps you if you have a local warranty claim. The dealer you see when your truck breaks down 600 miles from home might not be so friendly.
