5.7 with Magnuson Supercharger 6lbs of boost
Cannot get over the cause of my trucks problems. As some of you may know I had some issues with my truck after my supercharger install. I kept having trouble when I would come to a stop. After about ten seconds the truck would jump rpm's for no reason. Turns out my battery was not holding a charge. Put a new battery in it and holy crap it runs like a gorilla on steroids. Never thought about how important voltage is with the tune on these trucks. I would not have guessed after 2 1/2 years the battery would go bad, but I am glad it all worked out. Now I can get it to Englishtown and finally get a pass in.
Anyone else have any problems with factory battery?

At least your battery gave you warnings lol in my 08 it literally left me stranded with no signs that it was going bad

Electronics in any new vheicle are very very sensitive when you get a battery anywhere close to 11v. Hell in the aftermarket world I know many many shops that will replace the bat if its at 11.5v, gotta love all of the new technology in these new vehicles.
