return to stock

I have a quick question about the Edge juice with attitude. I bought 2003 F-250 CC 4x4 with a 6.0, the truck came with the tuner unplugged. I hooked it up and it ran great. Recently I noticed I have been losing gallons of engine coolant. I haven't seen any leaks or white smoke from the exhaust. The truck hasn't given me any problems besides this. I know it might be something with the EGR. That's why I'm going to take it to the dealer. My question is when I disconnect the Edge Juice with the Attitude from the PCM, do I need to perform a KAM (keep-alive-memory) reset & VGT learn procedure before I bring it to the dealer? Basically do I need to turn it back to stock? or will just removing the Edge system return it back to stock? While at the dealer I want to get the newest flash updates for my truck. I will not be reinstalling the Edge system again.
Thanks

All you have to do is unplug it since it doesn't flash the computer, it just interrupts the signal without doing any real tuning.

I'm sure you have heard this before, but the edge is really bad for your transmission on these trucks. If I were you I wouldn't install it again after you take it out.

He said that he wasn't going to reinstall it.

You are loosing coolant correct because the low line is the full line on the 2003 6.0 if you fill it to full it will overflow out of the tank.

If it’s the head gaskets you can probably get it done A LOT cheaper at a small local shop, maybe #k$’s.

The coolant is always under the low line and I'm constantly refilling it to the low line. It's getting annoying so I'm going to get the truck looked at under ext. warranty through the dealership.

Just thought I would make sure that you were aware of that didnt want you to be worried over nothing. I was really concerned when I seen my truck was low of coolant for the first time then I seen on here that it was normal.

Thanks for the info, I've been researching on the FTE forums several months now on the main problems with the 6.0. I remember reading in one of the threads that coming to this forum is very informational, but freaks you out about your 6.0, because your constaintly observing your 6.0 for problems lol. Some would say that's a bad thing, but I think it just keeps you on your toes.
I think the main thing I learned from this forum is that I'm going to be spending lots of money and time maintaining my 6.0.
You all will being seeing more threads from me from now on lol.
Thanks everyone for the help. I appreciate it.
