Brief history on truck:
Bought in Nov 2013 with 64k Miles, always maintained with service records. Only things done since I've owned it: cat-back exhaust, K&N drop in, superchips tuner, replaced pcv valve & hose and regular maintenance.
Now the truck has 103k, never had any problems with it until yesterday (5-27-17). I was driving through walmart parking lot, was about to turn into a parking spot then all of a sudden the rpm dropped, ETC Started flashing on dash, truck lost power and died. I turned the key over to start again, cranked for about 5 seconds then started, sounded horrible (like a extremely bad miss) and I had to hold the pebble to the floor to get it around 1k rpm to make it into the spot then it died again. Would not start after that.
I read the codes with my Superchips tuner and got:
P2172 - High Air Flow/ Vacuum Leak
U0184 - Lost Communications with Radio
I won't be able to get it into a shop until Tuesday because of memorial day weekend so I had it towed to my house.
I've tried unhooking the neg battery cable and letting it sit for 30min, no change
I reset it back to stock tuning and cleared dtcs, no change
I replaced MAP sensor, no change
I've checked throttle body (it was cleaned last summer and still looks good).
I done the key thing to see what codes the truck itself will read, --done-- is all it will say.
As of this morning (5-28-17) it started, sounded like ****, rpms staying very low and sputtering, etc light flashing, no CEL on, truck died, wont start again just keeps cranking.
Read codes again, only showing U0184: Lost communications with radio
I've read several other fourms and have not found anything that really helps, I don't want to keep throwing random parts at it.. Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated.
