Hate to hear about all the problems you are having, BUT I know just how you feel. I might as well have a space ship from Mars. Had two valves repaired, but that's all mechanic would repair because of the supercharger on it. Sent it to another mechanic who also has a dyno. He said he could figure it out with no problem. After 4 weeks and new MAF as well as other parts he said needed to be replaced, he said now it needs a new tune cause the old tune was corrupt. Found tuner, shipped truck to him. He said he could tune it in a few days. That was 3 weeks ago. Guess I will try to call them tomorrow and get more bad news. Like I said I know how you feel, and it sucks.

I'm glad to hear you decided to keep with the truck though man, it would've been a shame to see it get sold to someone who wouldn't half appreciate it as much as you have.
