Hi,

It looks like it's fairly common to put an aftermarket controller / ECU / tune (Arrow?) on the Gen V's.

With the concerns of blown engines and FCA voiding warranties based on these aftermarket changes, is there any way a potential buyer can verify the car is 100% stock in this regard prior to purchase?

I've had other cars where the dealer could scan the ECU, etc.

To each his own on the mods, I know it's not what I'm looking for.

Thanks!

The dealer could check if there is a mileage discrepancy between the controller and the odometer. This MIGHT indicate that the controller was replaced at some point. Some difference does occur naturally for some reason though.
