it was -1F here last night with a wind chill of -25F. i started my truck this morning after it had been plugged in for over a day and it fired with no trouble. let it run for about 20 minutes before i left. after i had been driving for around 10 minutes my truck started to shake, then just died in the middle of the road. i cranked about 4 times and no start. i plugged in my SCT and put the STOCK tune back on and it fired and ran fine after a couple of minutes. i still dont have the chip on (had it on extreme street).... any thoughts? what should i do about the tune?

I'm leaving my tunes out till it becomes warm again. May just leave them out for good.

why not just call eric or email him..im sure he can tell you..thats very odd though. i would try reloading the tune and see what happens

my first thought with you saying started to shake, would be the engine running out of fuel?

I would definetly call Eric and see what he has to say...

Yeah at -1 if you haven't put conditioner in it that's a definite possibility
