How to check for previous "tuner" on a used truck?
The reason I ask is because on FTE there is a person with a 6.4 that they bought with 35k ish miles... 30k miles later they experienced an engine failure... Ford Denied the Warranty due to the use of a tuner.
The owner claims that he never tuned it but was able to locate the previous owner who admitted to aggressive tunes via a Bully Dog.
He claims the motor is too far gone and it will cost $18k to replace the 6.4 with a crate motor.
Here is a link to the thread.
How can those of us who purchase used trucks guard against something like this? Is there a way to see if the truck has been tuned in the past?
Thanks!
