    Total newb here!!!

    Hey folks, I?ve been browsing for awhile now and finally decided to pull the trigger on a mpvi2. I recently got a 2005 2500 with an automatic and 105k miles. I?m also new to tuning.
    I have two main questions and any input will be greatly appreciated.

    My first question is, I believe that my truck has a tune in it already for about 70-100hp over stock, is there anyway that I can confirm this? I believe that because it is an 05 I won?t be able to read the tune from the ecm.

    My second question is, is there anything or anywhere that you guys suggest that I lookup in order to learn the basics of tuning? I know of the tuning school, mostly I would like books/online articles that I can reference back to.

    Thank you in advance

    You can datalog and compare against a stock tune to see if there is already a tune loaded. You are correct on you cannot upload a tune from the ecm, only download to.
