handheld won't leave any ghost trail if you do it right....you for starters need to return the truck to stock setting, then you have to disconnect your batteries and turn your lights on for about an hour or two, this will drain all residual power from the system and clear the memory banks, then you need to start the truck and turn it off at least 10 times...
This will clear the memory and then it will create a new one...There is no way for the stealerships to know that there was a programmer on the truck....
HP Tuners and EFI Live along with other custom tunes are a little more difficult to erase
