I have flashed my PCM a bunch of times due to multiple trips to the dealership. I return to stock before I go of course. I have read mixed info about it causing problems if you flash to much with your tuner. I dont understand why this could fry your PCM. How many times have you guys loaded and unloaded tunes? Anyone have any issues yet?

I have probably flashed my truck 50 times with no issues. Between weekly updates on the Bullydog and custom tuning with the DS, I feel like a flash pro. Don't think the number of flashes has anything to do with frying the ECU. I'm not really worried about the dealer finding out how often I flash the truck because I will never take it back to the dealer(over-priced hacks).
