You can get an aftermarket CAC for about 1600.

I can't believe they dont have at least a temporary fix for this and I am not convinced that a new intercooler in March is really going to solve the problem long term.
Are there aftermarket parts available that might solve this?
Any suggestions at all would be a big help.
Thanks
Why can't you drive yours til the parts come in? I took mine in Monday, they ordered parts, and I have my truck back today. Not sure what the issue is...

X2,I had my truck in for a Oil Change 12-17-12 and they ordered a intercooler for my truck.They said it should be fine to drive until the intercooler comes in.FWIW my truck has never had the hesitation,shudder or CEL on.But it does have the slight missfire up hills in 6th gear.

Later Mark.

If your truck was built after Sept 18/12, you will have the latest intercooler and shouldn't have any issues.

As far as I can tell, the truck is now perfect. It's my favorite vehicle of all I've ever owned. I really liked my 1966 Vette convertible, but now it's 3rd on my favorites list.
Did they charge you to gap the plugs? I had the new CAC and PCM installed about a month ago and it still misses/stumbles under light load. I asked them to look at the plugs but they wouldn't do it. I am gonna see if they will do it for me when I take it in next.

They wouldn't regap the plugs under warranty. Charged me $145 for that, but if the truck runs good now and is getting 3 or 4 more mpg, I'm a happy camper.

I know it's probably still considered anecdotal, but what were you getting before, MPG-wise, and what are you getting now?

$145 cost to re-gap plugs sounds like a wise investment.
