Column lock question
I received my recall notice. What does the dealer have to do? I will be having LS1 edit done soon, so I need to know if the dealer flashes the computer. If so I guess I need this done before I get the tune. Do I really need to have this done??

If you have a six speed the dealer will flash your computer, so I would definitely do the tune after the recall.
If you have an automatic you should be fine, but if it was me I would still do the recall before the tune because stranger things have happened at dealerships.

Also, if you have a 6 speed I would not get the recall done as it doesn't fix anything. It just shuts off the fuel pump if a column lock is detected while moving. This is something that can't happen anyway.
