Weird issue after dead battery A little background;
Ok so I've been running my current tune for at least a good month or two with no real problems, except for cold mornings it would shift a little too hard.
I haven't drove the truck for a while and this weekend my battery was completly dead. I'm sure it sat that way for at least a day or two. I had the charger on it for a few hours to bring it back to life.
Fast forward to yesterday;
Started it up to take it for a cruise, and its now shifting really sluggish. It also wants to die when parking and coming to a stop.
Its like it lost the tune, nothing seems the same on how it drives. Did the dead battery cause the PCM to have to relearn itself again or what?

Check the terminals on your battery, make sure the connections are on there real tight. I had a similar problem, I thought I lost my tune when my car would want to stall or didn't want to crank over. It ended up being loose connections to the terminals.

They will work in open-loop.
