Buying Modified Used Truck ???
Ok so here is the deal.. Im looking at buying a used 2006 from a dealer here in Vegas. It looks like its in great shape and only has 19K on it. They want like 28K for it and while I think that is high I am interested. My problem is that the truck has a Edge Juice with Attitude loaded on it. While I really like this truck I am troubled that this truck that I am thinking of buying has footprints in the ecu now. I would hate to buy this thing and pull the programmer off and have the tranny or some major item take a dump only to have my factory warranty voided by dodge for a programmer being added. Any advise in haggling or towards the situation would be great.

I'd bid low since the truck market is so bad right now. As for your concerns about your warranty, they are not unfounded and you are taking a chance but really even if the truck was stock right now, who knows what may have been done to the truck previously and then pulled off.
Is it at a Dodge dealer? If so, I would get in writing from them that they will cover any issues you may have under warranty. They may not do that since it is obviously modded right now but then you may just want to walk away from the deal...

Just so you know the Edge Juice/Attitude is a module and not a programmer therefore will leave no foot print in the engine computer. It can be removed without leaving a trace other than maybe the EGT probe in the manifold. If you can get a good deal then I wouldn't be too concerned. The Edge is relatively mild in the scheme of things. Stock or modified - the truck can be abused regardless. Just check everything over real good. Besides, one less thing to buy after you get a truck! Good luck.

Winner winner chicken dinner!
Ive seen super low mileage 08s for less, I cant believe how cheap you can pick up these trucks right now. Walk away, their are far better deals to be had.
