That's where this whole conversation is leading. What's legal vs not.

Agree and that day when they can prove it is coming much faster than
most think

The OEM's now have non-volatile memory for the computers...so the tuners
no longer can erase...so the OEM's can not tell if it has been tampered
with (tuned)

For now, they can't 'prove' over loading...but most of the sensors are
there NOW. Originally thought they would need strain gauges, but not
really with today's level of sensors and software already there

Missing must be a sensor for 'incline' and 'altitude'.

Once they can sense that and when they 'want to', they just marry
those sensors to 'torque management' to either be able to tell and/or
won't allow you to in power mode...just allow limp mode over a certain
level of torque vs ambient conditions

Then it will simulate a flesh and blood draft animal that won't go
if the load is too much...vs...the in-animate TV we have today. Truly
think that folks who drive draft animals understood loading much
better than folks today driving in-animate vehicles

On well...off the soap box...just noodling this stuff based on all
of the confusion on the HOW2's of ratings management...and the constant
din of folks saying sure you can...just remove the stuff if you go in
to claim warranty...or that it's not illegal as they don't check, etc
