Returning truck to stock without programmer

[02cumminsdude]

Just received my Edge today and the instructions say to return your trucks ECM to stock. I have no idea if the previous owner has left a program on my truck or not. The gauges he installed points towards the idea that he did have a tune on it, anyway I can know for sure? If so, whats the best way to go about this? Or is it really not a huge issue... it says potentially ECM or engine damage can result... last thing I need right now.

If you have some one with a smarty you might beable to reflash the ecm or take it to the dealer for reflash.

Well that sucks. Either chance it and hope theres no tune, or if there is, that nothing happens. OR get charged out the ___ by a dealer to reflash. I was hoping to have my Juice hooked up right when I start the motor for the first time so I can immediately setup the Edge and begin to monitor my fuel pressure while driving. I can always hook up a test gauge to check initial start up pressure, but I won't be able to drive it. I wish the computer cleared itself while my batteries have been unhooked for the past week.

--- Update to the previous post...

Can I pull the ECM and bring it in to the dealer, or does the truck need to be attached?

Call them and ask. I was told by the dealer it had to be on the truck, but it can be done off the vehicle. Rebuilders do it, but they also seem to have a hard time building them right. Maybe thats part of their problem.

I may do that. Today COULD be the day I try starting it, if all goes well. I've got to go get a few gallons of distilled water, fill up the cooling system, hopefully receive my Fluidamr, install the Edge, then it's just a matter of bleeding the fuel, and trying to start it.

Good luck. Dealer in this area wants $89 to reflash. Not too bad considering.

Not bad... If you figure the 320 mile ride round trip for me and $100 per shop hour for a my Dodge Dealer... Not bad at all...

Thought about talking to edge ? I doubt there's a program running in your truck - and never heard of it creating an issue (not saying it cant). Most are desintalled once programmer is removed. Call edge.
