Is there a way to tell if a Used Truck been Tuned?
Hello all,
So I just purchased a 2005 5.4L which has an intake and exhaust already on it. Didn't have any issue with it until I started reading all the posts about the possibility of damaging the 3V motors.
I'm hoping if the previous owner (I bought it from a dealer) did the the intake and exhaust, that he sprung for a tuner as well. Is there anyway to verify this? I attached a picture of a wire hanging that I though may have something to do with tuning, but I haven't spent the time to see where the other end of the wire goes.
Thanks,

It's more than likely not tuned in the state that you currently own it. The previous owner my have sprung for a tuner but unless he turned the truck back to stock he would have $300 in a tuner he can't use on anything else because it is locked to the VIN on your truck. So in short no it is probably not tuned right now.
