If the dealer that originally installed your stage 2 done it correctly, you will not need the code. All they will have to do is do a normal reflash of your PCM and GM will automatically give the dealership the correct flash. The flash is changed at GM's side to automatically give the correct flash no matter what dealership you go to. They bind it to your VIN. The tech calls GM and gives the auth number on the instruction sheet. After that, GM changes the programming that is assigned to your VIN. From then on, your VIN will have the stage 2 flash.
