Trucks Giving Problems..........

Truck problems..........
Alright, well here for about a month or so it seems like my truck wants to turn off when I come to a stop "drops under 300 rpm" and i've been having to put it in Neutral and the RPMs will come back up. Whats the deal???? And also it seems like my truck has a serious lack of power, Buddy of mine just bought a brand new 06, the other night we were coming home from work around 3 in the morning and decided to test the trucks out, well I couldn't pass him! And hes stock! I have the Edge, AirAid Intake, And Straight Pipe Exhaust, Anyone know if these problems could be related? Or what they could be?

Also when I take off a little fast feels like my truck holds back in first, kinda like it slips until it shifts into second then takes off? I hope its not tranny problems........

For a month ???

Let's see. Maintenance? Fuel filter? Clean the MAF? Full Tranny service?
How many miles on your front O2's? Your plugs? Any stored codes (not necessary to have a CEL to have stored codes - pull these with an advanced reader)?

What's it do if you return to the stock factory tune? Process of elimination - remove the tuning 'variable'.

Also possible your ETC is going south, but I think those kinds of issues do set codes.

When I remove the edge tune, it pretty much does the same thing but worse

EDIT: As for maintenace, I check my fluid levels almost everyday, Fuel Filter was just replaced awhile back, Took my AirAid off about a month ago to clean the inside of the tube and checked the MAF while it was off. As for full tranny service is it covered by the dealership if im still under warranty?

I can't remember exactly, but it's close to $200 from what I remember, it's a complete transmission flush. You can call a dealer and find out exactly.

If you're under warranty than why bother? Just take it to the dealer, the PCM probally needs to be reflashed.
