Did a Tune on a 09 G8GT with simple boltons the other day.
After the customer picked up the car, the dreaded alternator light came on. After driving for a while it went into battery saver mode, and lastly with about 6 volts on the dial, it finally stalled out.
Customer told me he got another battery, and drove the car to the dealer, since he had purchased extended warranty, he was going to try to get a new alternator done.
I think where he screwed up is when he told the service writer, he had just had a tune done.
Immediately, they jumped into the conclusion that the tune was screwing up with the charging system.
I'm patiently waiting to hear from him to see the nonsense they will try to tell him, not to pay for the repair. I even think they might reflash the car back to stock :/
23 years as a Master technician, 18 years doing performance, butt loads of tunes, all happy customers, I've never heard of a tune jacking with the charging system????
