New To Dodge, Old on life.

Well they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks but I hoping that this old dog still has a few brain cells left to let info sink in.
I have just purchased the truck in the sig. Still trying to learn the posting rules.
I have purchased the Quadzilla Xzillaraider street 100 HP version. I am looking for a little more power and better mileage like everyone else.
We shall see shortly as it should be arriving this week.
I have seen my question asked several times but can't say I have ever saw an answer.
What I am most interested in is the ability of the dealer to determine if you have used anything on your truck. Some say no and others say posssibly. I would like a clear answer before boxing my truck and possibly voiding what little warranty I have left.

I know one of the tech who is there go to guy for the motor, He said, they can definently determine if there was a box on. It leaves it's mark deep with in the ecm. They might not look deep into if they don't have a reason to, however they can detect it if need be.

The simple solution is to take it off. They are not going to see it doing a scan but, if you pop the hood anyone can see it.

I would highly recommend removing it unless you know your dealer.

I would remove it before going to a dealer.
I was concerned about if it left any trail in the ecm that would show up on a deep scan.
Some have said yes and others no.
Is there anyone who can say for sure.
Thanks for the welcome. Loving the diesel.
Every one should own a truck like this at least once in their life.

The only thing I've heard is it puts an over-boost code in there. My roommate had that code when he took his juce/attitude off. And the trany slippage code....

Good Question

I also have searched with mixed results, I would like to get some gadgets but wonder if they are detectable if taken off.

Our stuff is absolutely not going to leave an overboost code or any other traces if you remove it from the truck.

If you were to plug it in wrong or turn the key on while plugs were undone then you could get some codes though.

Now thats what I was waiting to hear, thanks Qzilla.
I feel my decision to purchase your product has again been reaffirmed.
I know of no other manufacturer who goes to the length that this man does in customer relations.
It is indeed refreshing in this day and age.

Mine did not have the data port lead. Is this something that has been discontinued.

I would be very happy with 2 - 3 MPG if I can keep my foot out of it.
I plan on running in the 30HP mode. Heard this is the best for economy.
I think my 4.10 gears with stock tires will get a little less than the 3.73's most are running .
