05 random no start

Hi, my friends 05 auto is giving him some problems. First it randomly won't start, second it is low on power after you do get it started. He took it to a shop and they can't get their scanner to read the computer, I don't know the caliber of the mechanic or the scanner, but they do alot of work so should be reasonably skilled.
Whats you guys thoughts, He has only had the truck a month or more, it has stacks, and gauges when he bought it. My thinking is somebody put a programmer on it and it messed the computer up. I told him take it to dodge see if they can't wipe it and flash the stock program on it. if that doesn't work find a salvage computer, will any 04.5 on up work or does it need to be auto tranny? Please help this is a good guy thats come over from the F-team.

thanks Jed

Just put my 06 in the shop today as mine would randomly not start and then start. Then today at lunch it woudn't start at all. Turns out one of the starter wires was grounding out on the frame causing it to short out and cause the starter not to spin.

Find a shop you can diagnose problem without having to rely on a computer to tell them what is wrong.

thanks,

Jay
