I said yes, so they assured me they wouldn't mess w/ the computer unless they had to. Turns out, one of the LT primaries had melted an O2 wire. They fixed it and even covered it under warranty. Yes, I know it wasn't a major component, but still, if you can get in good w/ the service mgr, it definitely doesn't hurt!
On a minor item like that, you could possibly be fine. Technically your issue wasn't covered, but your dealer "was in a good mood" or just wanted to keep a good customer...and GM doesn't have 02 sensors on restriction.

In the case of a major powertrain failure, the dealer is required to send a snapshot of the OS to GM for verification...this is when tuning bites you in the rear.
