How can you tell?

Hi guy's

I just picked up a 2005 2500 Ram cummins auto 4x4 and was wondering how to tell if it has a TUNE in it, 13 codes come up as the engine light is on and when I delete them they come back on as soon as the engine starts up. Codes range from Map/o2 sensors, throttle acuator, trans kick down sensor, battery rang low. Truck runs good and seems like it's amazing on fuel, the dream gage in the roof says on a full tank of fuel I'll get 1102km till empty I've done 225km to a 1/8 of a tank of fuel. My buddy said my fuel gage is broken will see...lol.

If anyone knows how to tell if theres a tune please PM me or let me know as I want to get a programer but I've been told that if you have a tune already then you can't add another tune unless the first tune is deleted.

Thanks

The best thing to do is get it flashed at the dealer. That will erase any tune you have. If you know someone with a Smarty, have them load a program on it, then take it back to stock. (that would be the best option)

Look at your batteries. Bad connections or bad batteries can cause some really bad issues.

I just changed my batteries but haven't checked or erased codes yet. I've been asking guys I know with these trucks and no one has a Smarty. maybe I'll just buy one.

Anyone have a Smarty for sale? PM me lets make a deal

Yeap, if the Smarty won't load, it has a tune in it. If it has stock software, it won't have a problem.
