The supercharged tune would have accommodated larger injectors so I'd be surprised it would run [well] at all if you were still on that tune with the factory 6.2 ones.

OK, so no supercharger tune. I have never owned any 6.2 other than this, so I wouldn't even know the difference. Would a tuner be able to tell?

Also, anyone know an AWD dyno in DFW?

Whew...

So it has had an engine swap, a supercharger, all sorts of other mods. HUGE brakes and HUGE wheels (which is likely the reason you have different gears, probably changed them to accomodate for the HUGE FUKIN RIMS he had on there)

Sounds like alot for such a new truck, and i cannot believe he returned it to stock to sell it..

Figured those footballers would just sell it and cut their losses.. What the hell is he going to do with it.. swap it into an escalade?

Nice lookin truck tho

He traded it in on a single cab Dodge 5.7 Hemi truck. I don't think anything he had done to this one even fits. I wouldve financed the extras he took off, but he still has it in his garage i think.

I don't understand it, Demarcus was paid $7,800,000 last season and this year is going to make $6,700,000

The dealership should have just had him sign the glovebox or something and tried to turn a profit selling a celebrity owned vehicle. Makes no sense to part it out unless he is cheap, gave the parts to a buddy, or some other reason.

To answer your question, anyone that tunes these trucks should be able to tell right away if it has a tune on it, but to try to figure it out on your own is probably impossible unless you had a stock 6.2 pcm tune to compare to.

He had to sell the truck to make up for the pay cut

He was talking about the lockout on speakerphone, but it can't be hurting him. I think he is just a bit cheap... However, 93 octane feels rediculously stronger than the, must be 87, that they had in there. It seems happier, gets better mileage (10 MPG AVG, not great, but "pay to play"), and is much more responsive.

It probably has a tune. Is there any way to tell if it has a stall?

if i remeber correctly u mark a spot on the tire and truck, then give the tire 1 full revolution. with someone under the vehicle using the same method to count how many time the driveshaft goes around. 3 and a 3/4 turn would be approx. 3.73s, about 3 and 1/2 would be 3.42s.
don't quote me but i think this is the way u check em'

At a complete stop mash on the breaks and then ease on the gas and see how high the rpms go until your trucks starts moving or spinning tires.
