Depends on if you ever wanna custom tune it or not. For stock engines with a few bolt ons (air intake, exhaust), Superchips is the best all around tuner, you'll be able to turn MDS off with it plus gives you the option of trans tuning. You can do the same thing with Diablosport for MDS; it doesn't support trans tuning by the user but it does allow for custom tunes (larger mods) and the trans can be tuned through CMR tuning.
If you drove it around with the MDS harness unhooked you'd get codes, but it wouldn't affect normal operation (default mode for MDS is off, it would just **** the PCM off, hence the codes), especially since the harness wouldn't have anywhere to go.

Don't try the 03 throttle body, it has a different plug. So you put an 03 5.7 in an 06 1500? Did you install the EGR or block it off and/or have it written out in a tune?

TB plugs are weird, it's like 03 to mid 04 is a certain way, then they changed them after that. Did he use the 2003 intake manifold or the 2006 intake manifold?

Do you know if the super chip will delete the egr aswell?
