Just noticed my membership info shows I recently joined.
I actually joined shortly after purchasing my first 05 back in December 04.
I posted more than a few times for a couple of years... then dropped off as my focus went from cars to my children.
I had to re-register.... using my old user name.
Maybe inactivity?
But hey.... I've been around, and found this a good forum for my technical needs.
The paranoia is related to a recent change of ownership and many odd things occurring recently. Some have suggested that vendor favoritism may be afoot and your post sounded like someone who is creating a problem seemingly no one can fix only to have it repaired miraculously by a company that is wanting to become a vendor. Hence the directing of threads comment. Also, as someone already suggested there is no way you joined this forum in 2004. Hence another reason why your post raises some red flags. Again not your problem if you are being legitimate.
Anyway that is beside the point, It does seem like you may have at least an issue with your tune since many of your issues seem to be arising from it. I forget did you say it was a manual trans or automatic? You only really have three mods that would require any kind of 'tune' so to speak. The cams, the JLT and removal of the charge motion plates. All of those mods have been performed many times before so they have proven tunes for them. Hell I bet even BAMA could get those right.
