Yes, the gassers is what I was trying to clarify. I know this is a Duramax thread but the fact that the gassers are now also screwed will affect a much larger base. Very sad to hear.
Where are other manufacturers with this type of security? Have any other implemented something like this?

I suspect FORD may in the same boat in a few years. The Bosch ECM's they use are due for replacement, the next generation of these Bosch ECM's are supposed to have all security doors closed.
Dodge, I don't know there, maybe the new ECM due in 2019 will have all doors closed too. It is a trend that isn't reversing.

I was curious about the gas ECMs I'm more concerned about buying cars from a manufacture who has the least amount of this type of security.
I'm assuming there is some background rules at the EPA or something that's driving these changes.
I just learned how much tuning solutions are out there for BMW especially for bcm and peripheral modules, which i feel is completely locked down for gm stuff.

Euro cars tend to use a mix of Bosch and Siemens controllers. As far as I know the next gen ECM's from those two companies will use new Infineon AURIX CPU's that like GM now will have dedicated security subsystem built in to keep people out. It isn't just GM heading in this direction, as cars become 'connected' to the outside world and with greater automation of driving the manufacturers must make them 100% secure. Unfortunately the tuning business we've all known for so long isn't part of that grand vision.
