the Drive by wire TAC module is different on the 06. not sure if that is the issue but, i would ask your tuner for "your pcm" back with a new tune in it and try it out

The TAC module that runs your DBW throttle body was changed to a different one in 06. If you use an 06 PCM, you need the 06 TAC module and pedal....... 03-05 used the same throughout the years. I wouldnt be too crazy on it till its tuned. Glad it worked out.

I think the tune is off as well. There's no reason why it shouldn't work Is the TB from the 5.3?

No need to swap anything..Send the pcm back and tell him to flash the 05 operating system in it then retune it.

ok but would it work if i swap over to an 06 TB? sending pcm away takes from 2 to 3 weeks from where im located, plus 2 way shipping pay, i can try to get a 2006 TB for cheap

just wondering

No. They changed the TAC and Pedal. Not the TB. When they changed the TAC and pedal, the operating system and wiring is a little different. Changing the TB doesn't help.
