I am suprised to hear of these issues. Exactly what are they? I myself have had none. It seems strange to find them with all the popular tuners you have tried.

An awfully lot of folks won't admit it but if they would just leave their truck along with the performance mods they would be a lot better off.

for some reason certain pcm strategies are just difficult to tune. Not sure why but no tuner can get them "right ". Could run rough, shift wierd, power surging etc. If u don't have this, u dont have a difficult strategy code. I had one once. All the other trucks tunes were good or great.

no more tunes for me !! I'm tired of the drivability problems with them !!
Any info is helpful... thanks
i get the no tune. but why take off the intake? personally i think an intake and exhaust is all the 3.5 "needs". probably cause i love the sound of it.

It actually doesn't *need* either. The stock system is perfectly capable of flowing more air in and exhaust out than a stock motor will consume/produce.
