If it is not right with the stock tune, may need to see a dealer.

Any other codes?

Its actually not an MDS problem or a Diablo problem. Its a DCX problem. Just disconnect the battery for 30 minutes and it will be fine. Unfortuneately you might have to do that everytime you load a tune. Its a flash problem with the early build 5.7L 05's. Shutting off MDS will solve the problem but if you want MDS then you are SOL and have to reset the PCM by disconnecting the battery.

There is no fix. Just have to reset the PCM. It is actually one of the steps to flash a PCM in the early builds. I found it in a TSB a while ago. You can disconnect the battery on both ends and touch the leads together to drain any voltage left in the capacitors in the PCM. That way you dont have to wait for the drain.

You'll probably have to re-calibrate your auto-up/down on the windows. Hold window button down until window hits bottom, continue to hold button for 3 seconds. Do the same for up. Then the auto up/down should work. If it works anyway no need to re-calibrate.

People say you need to re-calibrate your peddal/throttle... I kind of think that's a myth but it looks harmless enough to do it anyway. ...I forgot how. Something like turning the key to the on position and slowly pressing the throttle all the way down and back up. maybe some key on/off stuff. Somebody will chime in with the procedure.

The srt8s are outstanding. It's enough power to keep you satisified on the street. It's over that threshold where you never get completely used to it -- even when you get used to it, it's enough to always puts a grin on your face. And it comes with stock handling acceptable for a road course.
