How to determine if truck hase been tuned?
OK so this is a newbie question i realize, but I am new to having a dodge. I have been a Toyota guy my whole life and just recently bought my first ram. This is a great forum with a wealth of knowledge and I have learned much about my truck. I just bought it about 4 months ago and love it!!! Anyway, it has a CAI and cat back exhaust. i have been reading a lot about tuners and octane. I had been running my truck on 87 octane, but after reading the information here, i switched to 89 this morning. But it did lead me to question if the truck is tuned for something specific. I bought it from a ford dealer (big mistake) so I know nothing about the truck besides what I can see. So my question is basically besides resetting the ecu and seeing of the truck runs differently, is there any way to determine if the truck has been tuned by a PO? I do plan to get a tuner int he future, but I need to spend money on a few repairs first (like an incorrectly set up r&p).
The truck is a 2003 5.7 quad cab 4X4 with 74,000 miles. I am planning doing a tuneup and other routine stuff once I get some of the current bugs worked out. But the truck ruins like a champ, the power is great. Gas mileage is about 12 and my best was about 14.5 and that is with a cap (of course the overhead tells me I am getting 17-20mpg on the highway!!)
