Truck was broken into and need parts...

Well they took my quadzilla and my gauges and pillar pod....So I was wondering if anyone has for sale or knows where to get a good deal in a quadzilla(used) or has the piece that goes back into the computer, so i can put the stock settings back on(right not it won't start)...they took the piece from my center console, so now i need one

Any ideas on how to get my stock settings back w/ out the quadzilla??
Thanks

Tuner boxes are usually linked to the specific ECU. It transfers the stock settings to tuner, and then transfers the upgraded program into the ECU. Your stock settings are in the stolen quadzilla. And that box is worthless, because it can't be used on any other truck.

When you plug in the tuner box, it checks the ECU for the stock program. If it doesn't find it, it will (usually) give an error message and stop the process. Call the people who made your tuner and ask them about it before spending any money.

Usually, the only answer is to have the dealership re-flash your ECU.

I don't know Quads stuff, but do they even have a "programmer" for our trucks??? If they only took the "box" then you should be able to get the truck running but unplugging the wiring harness at the engine sensors...

Sorry to hear about your break in, must have been someone you knew, or somewhere that they had alot of time with your truck to remove all this stuff...

What quadzilla was it?

If it is one that has a wiring harness, remove the harness plugs and put the OEM plugs back on. Rail pressure sensor and MAP sensor, and sometimes data connector.

Did you do the install on your truck? You should know how to reverse install it.

Quadzilla boxes for the dodge are NOT computer locked or vin locked. The above is flat wrong as long as it is a box with wires that interface with the engine. Asher is correct.

PS: please fill in your truck info in the user CP and location, that will give others the info that we need.

PPS: Sorry for the loss of your stuff.
